[Maine-birds] Snow Buntings

My wife and I had first of the season snow buntings on the gravel bar at Leighton Pt Beach in Pembroke this afternoon. Beautiful birds and a sure sign of winter! See ebird list of birds below

I received a call tonight from Tom Cabe  who provided me with a excellent description of  a Rock Wren seen on the rocks next to the water at Bog Brook Cove in Trescott late Tuesday afternoon. Tom is an experienced birder and took detailed notes of the bird; unfortunately he did not have a camera. I will try to get to Bog Brook Cove tomorrow to see if the bird is still around after the weather moves through the area. The cove is found on the Maine Coast Heritage Trust Bog Brook Cove Preserve and most of the cove adjoins private property but the gravel beach area is accessible from the preserve trail.
