The lingering Brown Thrasher made it through a couple single digit cold nights and appeared this morning under my feeders here in Woodland. Nice start to the December list!

A Yellow-rumped Warbler is visiting a feeder at Cross Lake and is the latest ever for Aroostook County in my record books.
As reported on Robin Robinson's Maine Birds Facebook page, a pair of Gray Jays are visiting a feeder in New Sweden and a very late young male Baltimore Oriole was nicely photographed at Presque Isle. The oriole too, is exceptionally late for northern Maine.
The recent freeze-up has displaced most of the area's Canada Geese, though a flock or two is still lingering in some open nooks and crannies. A female Barrows Goldeneye was with a dozen Common Goldeneyes at the Caribou wastewater lagoons on Sunday.
Large flocks of Common Redpolls, Pine Siskins and American Goldfinches are now being reported from around the county with lesser numbers of Pine and Evening Grosbeaks. A single male Evening Grosbeak supervised me while I put up some Christmas lights on Sunday afternoon.
Good Birding!
