[Maine-birds] Maine Birds

May 9, morning hours - wetland and Kiwanis Park in Dover-Foxcroft, Piscataquis County :
    CANADA GOOSE
    PIED-BILLED GREBE
    MOURNING DOVE
    NORTHERN FLICKER
    EASTERN PHOEBE
    COMMON RAVEN
    TREE SWALLOW
    GRAY CATBIRD doing an imperfect imitation of a Veery (needs to practise more!)
    BROWN THRASHER
    AMERICAN REDSTART
    OVENBIRD
    RED-WINGED BLACKBIRD
    COMMON GRACKLE
 
    I also heard Northern Waterthrush, Swamp Sparrow, White-throated Sparrow, and Northern Cardinal.
    I watched a ROBIN half in the edge of the water, taking a bath. Its partner didn't want much to do with it - amusing to watch.
