[Maine-birds] sapsucker

I have been seeing a yellow-bellied sapsucker in my yard for a few weeks every now and again. Seems to like the magnolia tree in my yard and an ancient apple tree in my neighbor’s yard.

[Maine-birds] Yellow-breasted Chat - Portland, 26 Nov

Passing along a call I just got from Marian Zimmerman that the Yellow-breasted Chat at Capisic Pond Park (https://ebird.org/hotspot/L251784) is being seen this afternoon (3:50PM on 26 Nov) between the bridge and the first break in vegetation. She said it has been showing well for the last ten minutes, which sounds like ten minutes longer than most chat views!

Good birding,

Doug Hitchcox

[Maine-birds] Brooksville Blue Birds

Counted 6 Eastern Bluebirds in our yard today. I told them it was time to head south, but they continued to feed and check out our Bluebird houses!

I would like to think that these are the 6 babies that fledged in one of the houses last year (2018) and have come back to check out new digs for next year!

[Maine-birds] Dickcissel, Kennebunk

Hi all,

Just had a first-winter female Dickcissel at my feeders in Kennebunk. Got a couple of dark and slightly blurry photos through the window, but good enough to show the yellow supercilium, thin black mustache, and light streaking underneath. New yard bird for me!

[Maine-birds] Am. Coots, Chickawaukie Lake, Rockland

A small (so far) raft of coots has returned to Chickawaukie Lake in Rockland, visible from Route 17. Chickie can be a good winter duck spot, too, as long as there's open water, best observed from the small public park on the south end, along Route 17.

[Maine-birds] Swallow at Beach Plum Farm

I wanted to post this for anyone birding along the south coast today. I probably had a Cave Swallow yesterday, but due to poor lighting and limited views, as well as rain, I couldn't rule out a Rough-winged or Cliff Swallow. I viewed the bird three or four times just as the rain started. The one good ventral view as it flew overhead indicated that it was definitely not a TRES. The area under the throat looked a bit dusky like a NRWS, but did not seem as dark as a CLSW. Unfortunately I never got a dorsal view before the bird disappeared.

Look closely at the swallows that are floating around York county....

Good birding,

tom

[Maine-birds] Lubec Great Egret

There is currently a Great Egret in the marsh creek near the intersection of Maple Tree Rd. and South Lubec Rd. It may be the same one I saw there about a month ago. I hope it’s planning a trip south very soon.

[Maine-birds] Kennebunk: very late SNOWY EGRET (11/21)...

Hi all,

This morning someone sent me photos of a small white egret they
noticed yesterday morning at Rogers Pond Park in Kennebunk. Around
10am today, I arrived at the park to find a SNOWY EGRET foraging
alongside a GREAT BLUE HERON in a marshy cove of the Mousam River,
just south of Rogers Pond. Later, the bird was distantly visible from
the Mousam River Wildlife Sanctuary.

See my eBird lists:

Rogers Pond Park: https://ebird.org/me/checklist/S61628648
Mousam River Wildlife Sanctuary: https://ebird.org/me/checklist/S61628652

[Maine-birds] Red-necked Grebe Roque Bluffs 20 Nov

Red-necked Grebes have been here at Roque Bluffs all week. Wally heard one doing an "alert" call a few days ago, very near the shore, and it was fun to confirm the call with the Cornell on-line website. This afternoon I took some (awful) photos of a single Grebe near shore at the small tidal inlet near us. I thought it was a Red-necked Grebe, and I still think that. It has a a flat head, but its bill looks a little short. So, if you happen to look at e-bird for Washington County, you can check out my (awful) photos and if you know this to be other than the Red-necked (like, maybe a Horned Grebe), please let me know and I'll change the info at e-bird. Thank you. Carol

[Maine-birds] Bailey Island, 11/17 (BOWA, PIWA, LISP, other seasonally uncommon things).

Hi all,

Especially considering the relative dearth of "late/lingering" migrants and so-called "half-hardies" this fall, Pat Moynahan and I had a fantastic morning birding Bailey Island. Besides being pleasantly birdy overall, we had a long list of seasonal highlights:

- 1 BOHEMIAN WAXWING (First of fall; Early. Especially noteworthy and surprising given the lack of an irruption this year due to plentiful mountain-ash crops to our north and west).

- 3 PINE WARBLERS  - together in a flock.

- 1 LINCOLN'S SPARROW

- 33 Red-winged Blackbirds (flock of 30 plus 3 with starlings)

- 4 Ruby-crowned Kinglets

- 3 Chipping Sparrows

- 3 Hermit Thrushes

- 2 Pine Siskins (FOF)

- 2 Northern Flickers

- 1 Savannah Sparrow

-Derek

The Snow bunting's(20 or so) and horned larks(10)re still present as of 3:40 PM. The Snowbunting's are in the furthest distant field from the parking and as Brendan stated, avoiding the dog walkers. The horned larks were at the entrance as I pulled in however they flew out into the back edge of the middle field.

Thanks,
Rob O'Connell

[Maine-birds] Webber Pond, Bremen

the feeder population is picking up again--last week had four bluebirds chasing everyone else away, and now am seeing more woodpeckers. A downy reappeared last week and a red-bellied today. Saw and heard a hairy woodpecker in the oak trees and had two flickers in the yard. A few days ago a few grackles and red-winged blackbirds swept in and out, today about 30 appeared.

saw a flotilla of wood-ducks on the pond plus the usual mallards--

I think the geese may have finally departed-- the changing of the guard--

[Maine-birds] Brooksville Bluebirds

Although the light wasn't great in both cases I am 98% sure I saw 2 Eastern Bluebirds on our property in Brooksville --both yesterday about 0800 and today at 1430. I told them it was time they were heading South, but they ignored me. They were too fast for me to get a picture.

[Maine-birds] Hiram Village 11/14: Red-shouldered Hawk & continuing Chipping Sparrow

A five-minute span of time this morning produced two late rarities: a Red-shouldered Hawk being harassed by Crows at the edge of the Village Cemetery, and a hardy Chipping Sparrow that has been irregularly visiting the suet and black oil feeders. I've noticed a lot of Chippies still being reported recently from around the southern half of the state, wondering if any of them will make it into December?

[Maine-birds] Re: Sandhill Cranes in Smithfield

They were still there at 3:30 PM. I am going to check this morning as well. There is an additional group in Norridgewock Just after the large cow farm on the left as you are headed to Norridgewock. Pretty amazing! Aletha, Belgrade

31 Cranes on the flats in Smithfield on RT 8! They're in the field on the left hand side coming from Norridgewock towards Smithfield. They are all bunched up in a group and there is a bald eagle sitting in the tree above them.

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

It was a beautiful morning at Sabattus Pond. Good numbers and good variety. In addition to the usual Mallards, Black Ducks, Great and Lesser Scaup, Ruddy Ducks, Buffleheads,and Common and Hooded Mergansers, there were several Ring-necked Ducks, 20 or so Green-winged Teal, one American Wigeon, two Northern Shovelers, two Pintails. There was also one first winter Iceland Gull in a flock of about 100 Herring Gulls.

Yellow-throated Warbler —Timber Point

Thomas Foley <thomaspfoley5@gmail.com>: Nov 02 10:00AM -0700

We found a YTWA today around 12:45 pm in the stand of trees between the point and the house at Timber Point in Biddeford. Very active, hard to get an extended look at, but seemed to be sticking around in the area. Among a very loose flock of BCCH and GCKI.

Norridgewock cranes

Julia Hanauer-Milne <windyridgemaine@gmail.com>: Nov 02 12:32PM -0400

I went to see the cranes this morning and wanted to report that they are
still there in the way, way back of the last big field before getting to
town on Rt. 8. I recommend a scope. There were +/- 18??

ETA: looking at a map, think it's the second to last big field.
