This morning around 1030 we observed both the American Wigeon and the Eurasian Wigeon in the Bass Harbor Marsh. We enjoyed nice long looks at them feeding and paddling around together. We missed the Northern Pintail there.
However, en route home we took Highway 182 (also known as Blacks Woods Road) and stopped to bird at a pond right next to the highway in Franklin. We saw a female Northern Pintail there mixed in with large numbers of Mallards and Canada Geese! These ponds are heavily used by waterfowl in the fall and early winter as long as they are not iced over. Traffic is bad, so just be careful!
The pond is one-tenth of a mile west of Goodwin Road in Franklin along Highway 182.
