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
