[Maine-birds] Northern Maine Birds: Big white birds and others

Hello,

First just a quick note on the lingering Snowy Owls in northern Maine.  

The long-staying St. Agatha Snowy lasted until the 6th of June.  A Madawaska Snowy was present on the Gendreau Road until last Friday (the 13th).  A probable last lingerer will be a Snowy Owl seen by the Aroostook River in Presque Isle on Saturday the 14th of June.  Amazing how late these birds have stayed.

Other noteworthys in northern Maine include a Great Egret that is being seen in the marsh on the south end of the Presque Isle airport runway and a Red-bellied Woodpecker that was seen at the Aroostook National Wildlife Refuge.  

A canoe trip in the North Maine Woods produced a Black Tern in a Common Tern colony at Round Pond on the Allagash River, a rare and lingering Semipalmated Sandpiper (and more nesting Common Terns) at Allagash Lake and a American Three-toed Woodpecker on the Ledge Road west of Eagle Lake. All of these were seen on the 8th.  Cape May Warblers were regularly encountered.

Good Birding

Bill
