Re: [Maine-birds] Digest for maine-birds@googlegroups.com - 7 updates in 7 topics

This morning, April 13, I had a Carolina Wren in my back yard in Lewiston, and this afternoon I saw Wood Ducks, Ring Necked Ducks, and Green Winged Teal at the Durham Boat Launch on the Androscoggin River. Danny Danforth

This morning a female (or imm male) Purple Finch came to my feeder. First one I've seen. Wide white eyebrow on a brown striped body. Later a male Purple Finch showed up: raspberry color, including stripes on the side, no brown on the breast, all red cap (no brown). Perhaps a pair; it was a hour or so between sightings. Have been out all day; don't know if they returned. I have only one feeder at this point.

Flock of 20+ Bohemian Waxwings were feeding in a crabapple outside the
Congo. Church in Camden this morning as I went in to my Rotary meeting.
Dragged a bunch of my fellow Rotarians out to see them, which really
clinched my role as the nutty bird person in the club.

Think this is a first in our 12 years here--we have winnowing snipe in the
field across the road. They are accompanied by woodcock, killdeer and
peepers.

FOY
4/10: northern flickers mining the softened yard; Hermit thrush singing on
Outer Central St; Phoebe calling in backyard
4/11: brown thrasher skulking about @6:30 am midway up Central St; chipping
sparrow at the feeder; probable pine warblers in several stands of pines,
singing; white-throated sparrows all around edges in our yard and at UMA
4/12: yellow bellied sapsucker on spruce trunks in our yard
 
Not FOY, but fun:
4/11: one small patch of wood frogs calling at the Res; almost drowned out
by peepers
4/12 two pileated wp, meandering together through our "senior" trees

!00 yards from the Maine Border on River St, Fryeburg at the state line
in Conway NH there are 6 Sandhill Cranes. They are between the road and
the standing corn remains of the maze. There are at least 300 Canada
Geese and 50 Mallards there also. The Cranes are in New Hampshire. The
dense fog is lifting.
