[Maine-birds] Nubble, Cliff House, and Perkins Cove today


Nubble Light 
Common Eider
Barrows Goldeneye Photo
Harlequin Ducks
All 3 scoters (although the Surf was a flyby)
Long Tailed Ducks
Common Loons
Herring Gulls
Buffleheads


There was also one unknown duck that I could not readily identify. I was thinking it might be a scaup or scoter but I am certainly capable of being wrong, just ask my wife! :-) 
Here is a picture of that bird, anyone want to ID it that would be great. Photo

Harelequin ducks
a believed to be but too far in the scope to confirm Horned Grebe
and in the tree behind me a mix of Black Capped Chickadees and Red Breasted Nuthatches
On the way out there was a flight of American Robins as well

Perkins Cove

Dockside there were:
Common Loons
Common Goldeneyes
Common Eiders
A very annoying Herring Gull that had nothing better to do than to try and steal anything the above mentioned birds found.

Beach side there was:
a Thick Billed Murre Photo (Not the best photo due to the distance and the rather gray day)

Harlequin Ducks
Black Scoters
White Winged Scoters
Herring Gulls

Hope everyone had as great a day as I did!
