[Maine-birds] Northern Maine Birds: American White Pelican, Green Heron

The most twitchable pelican ever began its ninth week in northern Maine today.  This morning I finally got to witness it feeding... in the company of 19(!) Great Blue Herons at Lake Josephine in Easton:

Had a nice little collection of shorebirds feeding in the puddles over at McCain's mud and rock dump.  Semipalmated Plovers and Semipalmated, Least and one White-rumped Sandpiper were feeding with several hundred Starlings and a handful of Savannah and Song Sparrows.  Interesting mix. All the shorebirds were juveniles except the WRSA.

A Green Heron and late(ish) Eastern Kingbird in the eastside pond were also noteworthy.

A juvie Bonaparte's Gull and a later adult Common Tern were sharing a floating log in the very-full Christina Reservoir in Fort Fairfield. 

Good birding.
