This morning we saw 17 Green-winged Teal and 1 Greater Yellowlegs in Pike's Puddle off the South Lubec Road. On the Lubec sandbar we saw a nice adult Lesser Black-backed Gull, 5 American Pipits and 6 Snow Buntings. In the waters off West Quoddy Head, 23 Black-legged Kittiwakes were resting on Sail Rock. Three Northern Gannets were flying a ways off shore.
But most impressive of all were 3 large skeins of Double-crested Cormorants that flew over the lighthouse that numbered over 180 birds. We saw large skeins way out to sea that went to the windward side of Grand Manan.
Back home at Harrington our feeders are now entertaining 7 Purple Finches and over 20 Dark-eyed Juncos with the regular crew of chickadees, nuthatches, goldfinches, jays, crows, woodpeckers.....
