Hope you all are enjoying southern Maine’s first snow of the season - we were hoping we could get thru the weekend for our counts without any measureable snow - but that was not to be.
I enjoyed lots of activity from my usual winter visitors at my feeders today - but nothing unusual. When following the reports on this list serve, you know there have been some unusual birds (out of range or late departing) seen in the area, especially on “the Hill” in Saco. Maybe those birds will start showing up at feeders now that there is snow on the ground.
So, if you are anywhere in the count circle and observe an unusual bird - starting tomorrow - Dec. 30th - I would appreciate your contacting me so we can count the bird for count week - or better yet - be able to relocate the bird on Jan. 2nd Saturday - our count day! Count week also includes Jan. 3, 4, and 5 so even after Saturday, if you observe a bird that is out of range or one that is not easily seen every day please let me know. Please try to get a photo of your sighting if possible. Thanks.
For your information, I have included two links that might be of interest to you - one for the BK count circle and the other to all the CBC circles.
Have a great new year observing our Maine birds as well as those afar if you have the opportunity to travel. Birding is an excellent excuse to travel ! J
