Both Waxwings ,Rockport Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android
Scanned a big flock of Robins and Waxwings at 1:00 p.m. on Warrenton St. Was pleased to find a very few Bohemes in the mix ; my first of the season. This was on my way home from a great morning in Wells with a nice dark Gyrfalcon. Thank you Derek, Skip, Mark, and Sean. | From:"maine-birds@googlegroups.com" <maine-birds@googlegroups.com>
