We experienced two days of clear weather this week and did some birding up to West Quoddy and in Addison as well as our own backyard. We saw 8 Rusty Blackbirds that flew across Route 1 in western Whiting and on Sail Rock below West Quoddy lighthouse there were 2 Greater Cormorants still hanging around.
For the third year a Saw Whet Owl is calling in a tree quite close to the house and the Blue-headed Vireos showed up today and are singing all over the place.
Today we had a pair of American Wigeon on the mudflats across from the Addison boat landing as well as a flock of 17 peeps that flew over us while we were scanning the salt ponds outside "downtown" Addison.
And for what it's worth, this winter and spring has brought us lots and lots of Pine Siskins and Purple Finches - they are quite common in our Pineo Point area.
