Spent an hour at Lake Josephine in Easton and Christina Reservoir in Fort Fairfield this AM. Temperatures were in the high 20's and snow was on the ground and all the smaller wetlands were frozen.
-- A good assortment of diving ducks were at Lake Jo including White-winged Scoter, Bufflehead, Lesser Scaup, Ruddy Ducks and a slew of Hooded Mergansers. A few lingering dabblers including Gadwall and American Wigeon were also in the count. There were also good numbers of gulls including my first Iceland and Glaucous Gulls of the season. A Rough-legged Hawk and a small flock of Horned Larks were also notable.
I put a couple digiscoped photos of the gulls in the eBird list: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S15527937
Birding at Christina Reservoir was slower but another Bufflehead and two Red-necked Grebes here were good finds.
Yesterday, at Collins Pond, I heard and eventually saw a very late Yellow-rumped Warbler while watching the geese with Paul Cyr.
Good Birding
