Hi all,

~ 20 unidentified scaup, Wharton Point, Brunswick, 10/7 (with Saturday Morning Birdwalk group).
- 1 BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO and 1 "Ipswich" Savannah Sparrow (FOF), Fort Foster, Kittery, 10/8 (with Birds on Tap - Roadtrip! tour group).
- 5 species of warblers, led by multiple hundreds of Yellow-rumped, 2 Carolina Wrens, etc, Bailey Island, Harpswell, 10/10 (with Jeannette).
- 4 Fish Crows, three in downtown and one at Cook's Corner (my latest date for the Brunswick colony birds), 10/10 (with Jeannette).

Greater Yarmouth Goose Fields Update:
- The juvenile SNOW GOOSE continues, always along Woodville Road in Falmouth, but it's likely out of view on many occasions.
- My Canada Goose high count this week was 808 on 10/13.
