[Maine-birds] Oxford County Boreal Birding (2/28)...

Hey all,

I birded along Route 16 in Oxford County on Sunday (2/28). Pine Siskins and Crossbills provided an almost non-stop soundtrack for the day. Here are some highlights:

Magalloway Plantation: 1 Gray Jay, 20 Purple Finches, 8 Red Crossbills, 10 White-winged Crossbills, 100+ Pine Siskins, 75 Evening Grosbeaks (estimate of single flock)

Lincoln Plantation: 1 Northern Shrike (near Bennett Rd.), 2 Purple Finches, 10 Red Crossbills, 4 White-winged Crossbills, 50 Pine Siskins, 30 Evening Grosbeaks (at south end of Parmachene Road)

Lower Cupsuptic Township: 2 Boreal Chickadees (Turner Rd.), 10 Purple Finches, 8 White-winged Crossbills, 30 Pine Siskins

I also observed 27 Bohemian Waxwings eating apples along Route 5 in Andover.
