Re: [Maine-birds] Digest for maine-birds@googlegroups.com - 5 updates in 4 topics

Stan, I heard a carolina wren over in New Auburn near the river last year. Dan Nickerson, whose email is
ravenwatcher@gmail.com

knows more about it and saw it often.

Yesterday morning there were three Great Egrets south of the landing in Gardiner and bopping back and forth across the river along with at least six Great Blue Herons.

I checked belatedly on the radar this morning and was surprised to see some
offshore birds as the light arrived, despite strong following winds. Was
curious to know if anyone made the trip there this morning before 8:30. (I
was there from 8:30-9:30) If anyone was there earlier, I'd love to compare
notes. I saw a handful of warblers but heard many more. They were next to
impossible to find with the winds keeping trees and shrubs in constant
motion. I'm trying to get a handle on how birds behave with the various
conditions on a given day.
 
I'll be posting to eBird later. Highlight was an aerial display by raptors.

Doug Hitchcox told me no one saw him yesterday--is he gone? (I wouldn't be
surprised, given the improved weather.)
 
Thanks,
Delia in Brunswick (who should've gone on Tuesday, dangit)

I just led our weekly walk at Gilsland, with particular focus in the North Meadow, and did not see the Fork-tailed Flycatcher.
 
We did have 41 species, including ~20 Snowy Egrets feeding along the river off the North Meadow but the distance was a little too great to see if the Little Egret was among them.
 
Here is a complete list from our walk for anyone interested: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S39312814
 
Good birding,

Does anyone have a record of a Carolina Wren NESTING in the greater
Lewiston / Auburn area for any year?
 
Similarly, does anyone have a record of a Common Gallinule (was Common
Moorehen) for any month, not necessarily nesting, in the Greater
Lewiston / Auburn area in the past 10 years?
 
Greater Lewiston / Auburn is Androscoggin County plus any town bordering
Androscoggin (but not Portland or Augusta). Thank you.
