[Maine-birds] Saltwater Farm Preserve, Damariscotta, 5.5.13

Visited Damariscotta River Association's Saltwater Farm Preserve this morning with Derek Lovitch before checking out the alewives at the fish ladder in Damariscotta Mills.  

Highlights included:

Pied-billed Grebe-1

Great Blue Heron-3

Greater Yellowlegs-1

Sora-1

Osprey-2

E. Bluebird-1

Chimney Swift-5

House Wren-1

No. Parula-1

Black-and-white Warbler-1

Savannah Sparrow-2

Swamp Sparrow-1

Visited the fish ladder in the morning at high tide and in the afternoon at low tide. More birds there in the afternoon, but disappointingly few species besides Herring Gulls, DC Cormorants, and a couple of Great Black-backed Gulls chowing on fish at the fish ladder:

Great Blue Heron-1

Osprey-2

Bald Eagle-1

(And this morning, 1 Red-bellied Woodpecker. NOT eating fish, I might add. Not even trying to eat fish.)

At the fort at Colonial Pemaquid, FOY (for me) Laughing Gulls.

Beautiful day to walk around looking for stuff. A few more warblers would have been nice too, but not complaining!
