It was a good day birding in Brunswick on Sunday for my annual Big Day, with 120 species recorded, and funds raised for eBird. Highlights included a singing Lincoln's Sparrow, two singing Wood thrushes (one of which has been present at least 10 days and presumably nesting at Brunswick Landing, the former BNAS), a late Greater Scaup off Simpson Point, and a late Common Goldeneye off Wharton Point. One unusual sight was at least 19 Fish crows flying around in circles and generally raising a ruckus at the Brunswick Town Mall late in the afternoon. Earlier in the day, there were no Fish crows in evidence anywhere downtown, so possibly these birds were wanderers or late migrants.
The big shorebird arrival was missed at Wharton Point on Sunday, but Monday morning saw the appearance of a large flock of Short-billed Dowitchers.
Good birding,
Gordon
