[Maine-birds] Saco - Biddeford Birding 4/30

A relatively quiet day today.  I started out at the Heath where the only birds I saw or heard were Chickadees, Blue Jays, Crows and a Downy Woodpecker.  Seriously!  The boardwalk is a dead end halfway through the heath but the work they are doing on the boardwalk and trail should be applauded. 

From there I headed to Biddeford Pool. I didn't see any shorebirds.  There were 7 Long-Tailed Ducks in breeding plumage off of the beach by Gilbert St.  Also a pair of Green Herons (in the same tree) and a Juvenile BCNH that was near the land trust off 7th,

I had a Murre, which I believe to be a Common Murre based on the shape of the face and the angle to the bill.  It was off the Eastpoint with some Eiders and a pair of RB Mergansers.  Photos on the Maine Bird List flickr site:

Great weather to be out!  Only Warbler for the day was a Yellow-Rump hanging with a Phoebe at the pond in the woods at the land trust.

Cheers,
Chuck
