Re: [Maine-birds] Sabattus Pond, 10/30

There were two drake common goldeneye off the south end beach last week, the first I had seen this year.

Notably absent from that list was Common Goldeneye.  I usually start seeing small flocks before this on inland lakes and rivers.  I'm assuming mild weather up north has delayed their arrival.

 Hi all,

Lois Gerke joined me on a jaunt up to Sabattus Pond. This morning's glass-calm conditions that reduced the flight at Sandy Point afforded a perfect opportunity to count and enjoy the duckage here:

916 Ruddy Ducks (!!!)
195 Lesser Scaup
127 Canada Geese
99 Mallards
33 American Coots
24 Greater Scaup
22 American Black Ducks
12 Bufflehead
3 Mallard x American Black Ducks
3 Hooded Mergansers
3 Common Loons
1 continuing female REDHEAD
1 Horned Grebe
