[Maine-birds] Belfast Bay census

On Friday, Nov. 8, Gary Gulezian and I censused the Belfast Bay area as part of the quasi- bi-weekly winter census program that I do.  Highlights were a male Barrow's Goldeneye and a female Greater Scaup (the first scaup to appear on the census and the first I have seen on Belfast Bay). 

 

We also watched a group of 58 American Crows feeding on a gravel/sandbar that had been exposed in Belfast Harbor at low tide.  I have seen this behavior by a large flock of crows twice before in the same spot.  Any suggestions about what they are eating?

 

The full list of sightings (only the birds that make use of the bay) can be found on ebird at
