[Maine-birds] Saco "Eurasian" Green-winged Teal

I saw that an Eastern Meadowlark had been reported from Boom rd in Saco today, so I headed out to check it out and see if I could spot it. I did manage to find two, along with a female American Kestrel and a small flock of Killdeer (no Lapwings though, despite much fruitless checking..). Several ducks were feeding in a flooded field, including about 18 Green-winged Teal. One of the drakes had showed the strong white horizontal bar on the sides and no trace of a vertical bar, a Eurasian Green-winged Teal. I managed some (terrible) iphone scope shots that I'll post in the flickr group if any of them look useful.

Also had my FOY Eastern Phoebe in Biddeford. The Fish Crows are back at UNE, at least two of them were calling back and forth today. 

Good Birding
