[Maine-birds] Northern Maine Birds: White-fronted Goose, Pink-footed Goose, Pine Grosbeaks

As Kyle noted the Pink-footed Goose continues. I got down to Mars Hill this afternoon and it slept the whole time I was there:

The Canada Goose flock at Lake Josephine in Easton has reached a season high with over 3,000 geese on the pond now. With my scope zoomed all the way up, I was able to pick out a sleeping Greater White-fronted Goose in the horde. Unlike the Pinkfoot, this bird eventually woke up and let me get a distant digiscope. Buffleheads, Black Scoters and a lingering Redhead were the other goodies here:

Earlier this AM, I braved the woods full of excited deer hunters and birded the Blackstone Siding Road in Westmanland. It was quite finchy with first-of -fall Pine Grosbeaks, my first Snow Bunting of the season, lots of Boreal Chickadees and a few Gray Jays. http://ebird.org/ebird/me/view/checklist?subID=S25648231

Other notables today were a flock of Bohemian Waxwings feeding on Mt Ash berries and some flyover Evening Grosbeaks in Sinclair and a Northern Shrike on the Flat Mountain Road in St. Agatha.

Birdwise, its getting wintery up here.

Good Birding

[Maine-birds] Prairie Warb Picture Needed

Hi folks,

The Town of Brunswick is finalizing some interpretive signage for the Capt. Fitzgerald Park which offers nice mid-coast sandplain birding. We would love to feature a Prairie Warbler pic by a local birder. If anyone is willing to contribute one, you will be credited.

[Maine-birds] Owls Head Glaucous

A second-winter glaucous gull at the harborside lobster pound area on Lobster Lane. Traditionally a productive spot for wintering white-winged gulls and a few black-headed as well. Most of Weskeag Marsh was heavily flooded at 2:30pm today - greater yellowlegs flying about in search of a landing place.

[Maine-birds] High Tide - Back Bay - Portland

A remarkably high tide this afternoon pushed the American Golden Plover and his/her Black-bellied compatriots about ten-ish feet from the walking path as of 2:45pm today. Great photo op!

Buffleheads, Common Goldeneyes, and Mallards galore.

[Maine-birds] Popham Beach - après storm

The causeway between the salt marshes at Popham is unpassable due to the very high tides (even higher at midnight). Water over the road not only deepish, but showing an incredible current. Full-size pickup might make it. Don't know about a Toyota.

The salt marshes on both sides of the road are an inland sea, with little veg or driftwood showing. But GYLegs and Pectoral Sands are EZ to find. Grabbing whatever freeboard they can find. Actually might be fun to kayak or canoe over the marsh right now. Might be other interesting things out there.

[Maine-birds] Northern Maine Birds: Pink-footed Goose, marked Canada Goose from Greenland

Hi all,

Today during my lunch hour, I found a Pink-footed Goose among about 400+ Canada Geese roosting on the mill pond in Mars Hill. The bird was close but spent most of its time snoozing. I managed some quick pics when the bird woke up and got a drink and repositioned in sleep mode.

The was also another marked Canada Goose in the pond. The goose had a yellow collar with an alphanumeric code indicative of Greenland banded birds. This was the seventh of these marked geese I've found this fall.

The geese are regular on the pond in midday and with unfavorable winds predicted for the next day and a half I expect this bird will hang around. The pond is located just north of the intersection of Route 1 and Route 1A in Mars Hill.

Some photos are here: http://ebird.org/ebird/me/view/checklist?subID=S25578779

Good Birding.

[Maine-birds] Ash-throated Flycatcher Capisic, nope

As of midday, the Ash-throated Flycatcher was not seen. A number of folks tried this morning, but the chilly temps and gray skies had most birds staying low, even chickadees and titmice. I learned that Bill Bunn photographed the Ash-throat 5 days ago (https://flic.kr/p/A4ruUm) near the parking area as one first turns in toward the park. Orange-crowned Warbler and Indigo Bunting were the highlights otherwise today.

[Maine-birds] FOS Bohemian Waxwing UMaine Orono Campus/ RFI for a new Maine resident

Hello All,
I spotted a first of the season Bohemian Waxing around lunchtime today at U. of Maine Orono. It was in an ornamental fruit tree by the SW corner of the library with Cedar Waxwings and Robins.

In an unrelated note, as a new Maine resident my #1 target bird is Manx Shearwater. Can anybody provide advice on finding one? eBird seems to suggest a Bar Harbor whale watching trip would be a good bet once those resume next year, but are there good options this time of year or an upcoming pelagic trip? Thanks in advance

Good Birding,

[Maine-birds] Saltmarsh Sparrow with a dash of Nelson's

What does such a bird look like?

https://flic.kr/s/aHsknpVrLj

photos by Klemens Gasser, Brooklyn, NY

Shai Mitra saw these images and wrote: "Based on appearance alone, I wouldn't have taken this bird for pure Saltmarsh. The supercilium shows only a hint of black flecking (characteristic of Saltmarsh) and rather more of a grayish wash (characteristic of Acadian Nelson's), the back is rather washed out and grayish, and the ventral streaks are less prominent than I think of as typical for Saltmarsh." (http://digest.sialia.com/?rm=message;id=1100850)

Chris Elphick, who is part of the project studying these birds, wrote to me yesterday and said that blood from this sparrow was tested and molecular data suggest it is 93% Saltmarsh.

"So, this is one version of what a 93% (male) saltmarsh sparrow looks like during fall migration…" Or, what does 7% Nelson's Sparrow do for your looks?

[Maine-birds] Ash-throated Flycatcher at Capisic Pond

Today (Wednesday) in the early afternoon, an Ash-throated Flycatcher was observed at Capisic Pond. The bird was located down the main trail on the right in a tangle of multiflora rose and burning bush just before the house with bird feeders. Two video clips will be posted on eBird later.

[Maine-birds] Northern Maine Birds: White-winged and Black Scoters, Black-bellied Plover, White-rumped Sandpiper

Spent my lunch hour checking the goose flocks at Hanson Lake in Presque Isle/Mapleton, Lake Josephine in Easton and Christina Reservoir in Fort Fairfield. None of the Canada Geese had morphed into other species overnight...

Hanson Lake held a few hundred Canada Geese. A juvenile White-winged Scoter was hanging out with them.

Over in Easton, there were more Lesser Scaup in Lake Jo today and a group of 9 Black Scoters were new arrivals here.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/71911844@N04/22517971212/in/datetaken-public/

At Christina Reservoir, an orange-clad hunter/trapper on the north shore bumped out most of the geese and mergansers just as I arrived. A couple Red-necked Grebes stuck around though. I also had a juvenile Black-bellied Plover and a partially-molted adult White-rumped Sandpiper that was looking pretty beat up. Both birds were quite late lingerers. The plover was my latest ever in northern Maine and though White-rumped Sandpiper juveniles are practically expected right now, adults have usually pushed through by early September.

My eBird list has digiscopes of the shorebirds:

http://ebird.org/ebird/me/view/checklist?subID=S25572134

Had a report of an Eastern Towhee today. More on that later hopefully!

[Maine-birds] record number of redpolls passing Tadoussac, Quebec

The Tadoussac Bird Observatory (Observatoire d'oiseaux de Tadoussac) reported yesterday that a record number of redpolls flew over their observation point: 15,790 redpolls in 7 hours. The previous record was 14,391 on October 24, 2010. Tadoussac is only 50+ miles (83 kms) north of the northern tip of Maine. The concentration of birds, though, tends to remain along the north shore of the St. Lawrence. But that's a lot of redpolls. You can read about their sightings in this post: http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Mail/Ornitho-Qc/1829208?year=2015

get ready…

[Maine-birds] Pine Siskins

Today, encountered a sizable First-of-Fall flock of approx 40 PISI, 15-20 miles NW of Rockwood, as well as numerous Gray Jays, an abundance of Ruffed Grouse and a Goshawk. Although there are still patches of color, most of the leaves are off the trees. A beautiful, crisp fall day. Rob

[Maine-birds] Northern Maine Birds: Glaucous Gull, Tufted Titmouse, Brown Thrasher

There's been a rapid changing of the guard in northern Maine in the past few days. Nightly freeze ups have squeezed water birds out the shallower wetlands and ponds and dabbling ducks are thinning out. At the same time the hardy diving ducks have appeared in big numbers.

Large numbers of migrant gulls have moved in as well.

Tonight, on my evening commute, I saw very large number of gulls circling over Collins Pond in Caribou and even though the sun was down, I stopped in to check it out. Waves of gulls came in to roost and eventually numbered almost 3 thousand birds. Herring Gulls were at least 2/3s of the group, but I counted well over 400 Great Black-backed Gulls as well. There was a handful of Ring-billed Gulls but Icelands, Lesser Black-backed and my season-first Glaucous Gull were the notables. Photography was almost impossible due to darkness but I put a documentation shot of the Glauc in the eBird list: http://ebird.org/ebird/me/view/checklist?subID=S25561144

A first winter Bonaparte's Gull at Christina Reservoir in Fort Fairfield earlier in the day allowed me a seven gull day... pretty good this far inland.

Other noteworthy bird news was the report of a Tufted Titmouse seen at a feeder in Perham today. This is a rare species up here and one that is, apparently, not prone to wandering.

The first American Tree Sparrow flocks were seen over the weekend and a lingering Eastern Phoebe and Brown Thrasher in my yard in Woodland were both the latest fall records for me.

Several Killdeer lingered at Collins Pond through Sunday but not, apparently, the Cackling Goose that was seen on the 17th.

Regarding geese, huge numbers of Canada still remain in central Aroostook county but rarities are... well,... rare! To date there have been five Cackling geese but no other unusual species seen. Even Snow Geese reports are sparse with only 3 birds reported. There's been lots of reports of rare geese n the provinces to the north an east so I'm not giving up hope yet.

[Maine-birds] Peregrine, Sharpie, and Rusty - Hancock Cty

Hi all -- Had a Peregrine adult at the top of Flying Mtn in Acadia NP right around sunrise this morning. Seemed like I had flushed it off a perch; very close overhead.

Returned home to SW Harbor and a cluster of Common Grackles at the feeder (very flighty) that included one Rusty Blackbird. And then the back yard's fruity and squat shrubby crabapple tree drew in both Juncos and a Sharp-shinned Hawk. That Sharpie just couldn't seem to find a way to work down from the crown of the tree to the base where a juicy Junco was feeding.

Cheers,

Re: [Maine-birds] Scoters

Yesterday mid afternoon there was a large raft of birds off the point at Pond Cove in Cape Elizabeth on Shore Rd. I had binoculars but could not get a good sighting ad they were way past the point of land. It had to be more than 400 birds. At first I thought they were cormorants as their beak was pointed upwards. It was quite s sight but not sure. Would there be that large of a raft of cormorants on the open water?

[Maine-birds] Red-headed Woodpecker - Acton, 10/23-24 Homeowner requests

Hi everyone:

I received a call this morning from Sarah Cognata, who has been hosting a Red-headed Woodpecker in her Acton yard since October 23rd. She shared this sighting on eBird (http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S25544012) and the MAINE Birds Facebook group (http://tinyurl.com/ocp7zul) but was a little alarmed by early morning visits from birders so she had a few requests for visitors:

It is okay to visit, but as the bird has only been seen in the afternoon please limit searches to 2 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. It is okay to wander up her driveway as the feeder setup is set back from the road but please do not go beyond that area. This is an active farm so be courteous of the work being done and aware that there may be roaming chickens, geese, and especially children.

This is a good Maine bird (especially for York County) and a species known to linger at feeders so I hope everyone will follow these requests and keep it accessible to all.

Good birding,

[Maine-birds] Lapland Longspur and cormorants

One Lapland Longspur was with two chipping sparrows at Atlantic Circle just down from Strawberry Island Preserve at the end of Great Hill Rd in Kennebunk.

About 400 Double-crested Cormorant flew in and landed on the water and on the rocks with another hundred continuing on down the coast. Quite an impressive sight.

[Maine-birds] Spruce Grouse with attitude

Today was a great day to be up in the North Maine Woods, although grouse hunters were everywhere due to great weather on a Saturday.

White-winged crossbill numbers have built a little bit. Pine Siskins are flocking up. We notched our first Bohemian Waxwings (3) of the season. An Eastern Bluebird in the woods was not a total surprise. I get them up there now and then. The usual Boreal Chickadees and Gray Jays. In fact, the Gray Jays seemed rather numerous today. Maybe a dozen?

But this is why the Spruce Grouse has become my favorite bird. They have such personalities. Even though we were not approaching her, and we showed deference, she showed defiance. She strutted around, ruffing up her neck feathers and fanning her tail, insisting we go away. We did. If interested, her shuck and jive is about a minute into https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vTJDi_-w3o. It’s also posted on the Maine Birding Trail Facebook page: www.facebook.com/MaineBirdingTrail.

[Maine-birds] Tufted Titmouse in Washington County

We had 40+ Common Grackles at our feeders early this afternoon and to our surprise a Tufted Titmouse popped out of the conifers around the feeder area.

Also, on the western side of Flat Bay we spotted 27 Dunlin on the mudflats during the afternoon low tide. A mixed flock of Black Ducks and Mallards replaced the Dunlin as the tide came in!

[Maine-birds] Red-headed Woodie in Cape Elizabeth

I just had a redheaded woodpecker on Charles Jordan Road in Cape Elizabeth. It was a juvenile with a dark head feeding actively in oak trees near the small pond at the bottom of the second hill just past the Higgins Beach overlook . Also called a few times. Maine bird for me!

[Maine-birds] Red-headed Woodie Juv in Cape Elizabeth

I just had a great look at a juvenile Red-headed Woodpecker along Charles Jordan Road in Cape Elizabeth. It was actively feeding in oaks and I saw it pull it several juicy morsels. Head is still dark (not red) but otherwise the bird is quite unmistakable. It was in the area around a small pond at the bottom of the second hill on Jordan Road, just below the field the gives you a clear view of Higgins Beach. Also head it call…

Juanita,

The Dyer River flows into the Sheepscot River at Sheepscot Village. I am upstream one mile from the village. The river is a narrow tidal river with marsh on both sides.

[Maine-birds] RTHummingbird - West Bath

This morning marks the 7th, and quite possibly the final, day that this Immature Male has visited our feeder. Habits were quite different this morning. Intervals between feeding bouts were much shorter (30 sec. cf. 6 to 12 min.) and the bird retreated to a new loafing, preening, wing-exercising spot (Variegated Dogwood, cf Apple or White Pine tree.)

The new spot was low, just outside our den window, and I was able to get photos of him at rest.

Just returned from Hermit Island, and kept a watch on the feeder for ca 45 min. while eating a sandwich. No Hummer, and my guess is he has resumed his migration.

[Maine-birds] Selasphorus hummingbird follow-up

Hi all,

Earlier this week, I mentioned that I was waiting for photos of a Selasphorus hummingbird spotted in Yarmouth on October 16th-17th. I received the photos of the bird yesterday, and I have posted them in a blog. My conclusion is that I can't move beyond Rufous/Allen's Hummingbird from these photos, as is often the case with immature Selasphorus in the fall.

Carol,

Your feather is one of the outer primaries from the left wing of a Herring Gull. I'd guess it is the 8th or 9th primary, and the white tip has worn off because this is a worn, year-old primary. These birds are finishing their primary molt now, and that's probably a feather that has dropped (could have in the past few weeks). It's probably from a sub-adult bird, if that's p9 (adults have a small subterminal mirror on that feather). You can compare to an adult here, where p9 is second from the left and just over 14" long: http://www.fws.gov/lab/featheratlas/feather.php?Bird=HERG_primary_adult_bluebk
The pattern of gray and black is somewhat variable, and its hard to tell if your feather isn't p8. It's not the feather of a gannet, but that sounds like what you saw earlier.

Kind regards,

[Maine-birds] Field Sparrow and Rose-breasted Grosbeak at Saxl Park, Bangor, 10/22

Hi everyone,

I had another great rainy day birding outing at Saxl Park today. The two big highlights were flushing a Field Sparrow on the southern edge of the park, where the recently mowed grass meets the tall grass. Before that, when I was just starting out, I had a late Rose-breasted Grosbeak make a brief appearance in the bushy area between Saxl Park and Cascade Park.

There's been a high turnover rate at the park the last couple weeks and today was no exception. Despite seeing 5-10 Hermit Thrushes every morning, I had none today. Just about the reverse is true for Savannah Sparrows, which were abundant today (20+) - I had none on my last trip out to Saxl.

Good birding!

[Maine-birds] Wigeons at Capisic

I saw two wigeons at Capisic Pond in Portland today around noon. One had a beige forehead, so I assumed it was a Eurasian Wigeon. I don't know about the other one. I have pictures on Flickr and on the link below to my e-bird list. I am reluctant to post the Flickr link because I think the picture shows up in the e-mail if I do that? I know we are not supposed to post pictures. I would appreciate confirmation on these two, as I have only seen a Eurasian Wigeon once (April 2013 at Gilson Farm) and there were experts there to tell me what it was.
