I was alerted by Gretchen Nareff to the discovery of a pair of Barnacle Geese found in upstate New York yesterday afternoon. They are visiting the Cedarville Road Pond in Herkimer.
-- Plumage characteristics show these to almost-certainly be the Caribou birds which were not seen after Thursday last week. You can see a picture of them in their new digs here:
Another Greenland Greater White-fronted Goose was in Collins Pond yesterday. This adult appears to be a different bird than the one seen here last week. The gull flock at Collins Pond is increasingly interesting with at least 5 different Lesser Black-backed Gulls and at least one young Kumlien's Iceland Gull. A late Belted Kingfisher and a Lincoln's Sparrow were seen here Saturday.
Evening Grosbeak numbers are increasing locally which seems early...it might be another good winter for these. A Fox Sparrow is scratching in the snow with the Juncos this AM and yesterday I saw two Turkey Vultures riding the wind southward. These were my latest ever for northern Maine.
