The Ross's Goose was back at the mill pond in down town Limestone again this afternoon. During a short visit, I was able to see it on shore for a couple minutes and confirmed it had all its toes and no bands.
-- Also here today was a yellow collared Canada Goose GL9 from the Greenland study: http://greenland2012.wikispaces.com/Recoveries+and+resightings
This goose was originally trapped and banded in Greenland on 18 July 2009 and has been spotted all over New England during fall and winter in the years following. It spent the winter of 2011/2012 in Mass and was seen last winter in CT. In March 2013, the goose was spotted in New Hampshire, presumably on its way back north to Greenland.
I also spotted a foursome of Wild Turkeys within a 1/4 mile of the Canadian border up in Hamlin. This is the northeastern-most I have seen turkeys in Maine.
Yesterday, at 3 in the afternoon, I was surprised to find a Great-horned Owl peering out of a big old spruce on the banks of the Little Madawaska River in Stockholm.
