[Maine-birds] Belfast Bay census of Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2016

Gary Gulezian and I did the census.   The morning was pleasant (calm, 20's to 30's, partly cloudy), which made the birding relatively easy.  Highlights included two Lesser Black-backed Gulls, six Bald Eagles, and a hybrid Mallard x American Black Duck.  Although we found 19 species plus the hybrid, no grebes were seen.  For the first time Mallards (495) outnumbered Herring Gulls (426).  Altogether 1189 birds were counted.  The full report is on ebird at
