[Maine-birds] Countable birds

Alert: my column in the Bangor Daily News tomorrow is already online at http://bangordailynews.com/2014/01/03/outdoors/the-easiest-rule-in-birding-if-its-dead-it-doesnt-count/. It contains a shout-out to frequent poster, Kristen Lindquist. And for those who have just started a new Year List, listing rules can be a fascinating discussion.  

 

Meanwhile, my FOY of was the lone ground-feeding American Tree Sparrow that is grateful for whatever the hoard of goldfinches drops from the feeders above. It’s cold, blowing hard, and all the finches are puffed up like pillows.
