[Maine-birds] Aroostook Geese and More

Jerry Smith, Clay Hardy and I birded Aroostook County today looking for the geese Bill Sheehan found Monday.  Some highlights were;

Barnacle Goose at Christina Reservoir, seen at 10:37am when it came in with several hundred Canada Geese.  

Pink-footed Goose at Puddle Duck Pond in Fort Fairfield.

Adult Lesser Black-backed Gull in Fort Fairfield at sandbar in river west of HWY1A bridge.

Juv. Snow Goose at Mill Pond in Limestone.

Plus, single White-rumped and Pectoral Sandpipers and 32 American Pipits at Christina Reservoir.

During a second stop we made at Christina in mid afternoon there were at least 3000 Canada Geese in the north side of the lake but we could not re-find the Barnacle.  

Dipped on Greater White-fronted Goose.  

Great Birding Up North!
