[Maine-birds] Capisic arrivals:Green Heron/Indigo Buntings

A green heron made an appearance by the dam (opposite side of Capisic from Macy Street) and eventually made its way to narrow "oxbow" by the first point.

The buntings ( one male, one female), were working the apple blossoms toward the Lucas St. end of the trail, streamside, about midway between the new temporary dam and Lucas. Had not ventured into that part of the trail since the work began on the Capisic "improvement" project. Knew it was due time for the likes of buntings.

For those who have not experienced the park since the main part of the pond has been drained, it's worthwhile to see the new ecology: many shorebirds we don't normally see, at least not in such numbers: greater yellowlegs, lesser yellowlegs, spotted, and solitaries(numerous).

Warblers less numerous today. Though there's one the jury's still out on. Caught only the barest glimpse....More later.

Oh, the desire of wings!
