[Maine-birds] Additional Highlights This Week, 12/14-20

Hi all,

A great week of birding for me also included the following observations:

- 1 female NORTHERN PINTAIL and 3 Barrow's Goldeneyes (2 drakes and 1 hen), South Freeport Yacht Club, 12/14 (with Saturday Morning Birdwalk group).

- 1 Savannah Sparrow, 1 1st-winter Iceland Gull, and 1 1st-winter Glaucous Gull, Bath Landfill, 12/19 (with Maegen Krieger and Luke Seitz).  Unfortunately, we did not see the Golden Eagle between 1:30 and 2:45pm.

- 2 drake Barrow's Goldeneyes (likely same as above), Freeport Town Wharf, 12/19 (with Maegen Krieger and Luke Seitz).

- 7 1st-winter Iceland Gulls and 1 1st-winter Glaucous Gull, Hatch Hill Landfill, Augusta, 12/20.

Photos of the previously reported Clay-colored Sparrow and Brown Thrasher from Monday's Southern York County CBC can be seen here, along with my totals for our territory:
