Re: [Maine-birds] Common Murre, Common Terns, and Roseate Terns @ Biddeford Pool

In addition to Noah's sightings, I also had 5 Bonaparte's Gulls and 2 Laughing Gulls, the first I've seen this year. 2 Black-crowned Night-Herons were also around, an adult on one of the offshore island from the point and an immature at the land trust property next to the pond. Decent collection of shorebird on the pool; several Dunlin, Ruddy Turnstones, Black-bellied Plovers and Willets.

Good Birding

I saw the or a Common Murre off East Point Sanctuary this afternoon. The bird was distant, but I first noticed extensive white on the face extending to the nape compared to that on the 6 Razorbills 100 yards south of the murre. I eventually could make out a faint dark line coming from the back of the eye and down towards the cheek.

 

I was also elated to see a big flock of 100+ terns comprised mostly of Common and I counted at least 7 Roseate Terns.

 

Bird haahd,
