To add to the many sightings of Snowy Owls, on Saturday morning one owl was located off Seawall Beach on the Heron Islands (likely the same bird reported by Peter Vickery earlier) and one owl was perched on the sand near the large stand of dune grass on the Popham Beach side of the Morse River. Earlier, a nice light morph juvenile Rough-legged Hawk was observed from the Morse Mountain road winging fairly high overhead in a southerly direction.
In spite of the below freezing temperatures of late, well over a hundred dunlins and sanderlings were actively foraging on the beach at low tide, while a flock of almost two dozen yellow-rumped warblers, accompanied by a Hermit Thrush and Gray Catbird, were active in the scrubby back-dune area. The catbird was observed ingesting the abundant winterberry.
Good birding,
Gordon
