[Maine-birds] More Bremen surprises

Came home, went out to feed birds, saw flash of white land on tidal flat, grabbed binoculars. Saw 1, 2, 4, for total of 16 Greater Yellowlegs that had landed and were rushing about the tidal flat. As if that weren't enough while looking through the bins at them, a red fox with dinner, crossed my view, stopped, looked at me, then continued across - no one flushed!Life is good. Now for the next surprise.Juanita Juanita RoushdyBremen...

Re: [Maine-birds] Hummingbird in Saco ME

First Yellow-Rumped Warbler today here in Eliot. Other arrivals this week were catbird, brown headed cowbird, and a gorgeous grackle. I have a pair of resident red-winged blackbirds for the first year, they've been here for a few weeks and I hope they will nest! Still waiting for the Orioles and Hummingbirds. ...

[Maine-birds] Eurasian/ x American Wigeon

After taking a close look on a big monitor, my Timber Point drake Eurasian Wigeon from this morning may have a touch of hybrid American in it. I loaded a few more lightened photos into my checklist, and while the photos are crummy, the gape looks to have a bit of American character, front buffy area seems a bit extensive, and, something that wasn't evident in the field, what appears to be a faint but slightly darker aricular shadow....

[Maine-birds] Yellow-rump, finally

A Yellow-rumpled Warbler came to my feeder this afternoon in Sanford. I was delighted when later it came to the top step of my porch where I was sitting just a few feet away. It is still delightful to see the Yellow-throats and other sparrows. I'm thinking that my favorite common year round bird is the Tufted Titmouse...those cute black eyes on blue-ish feathers. Woops. I got carried away. Good webinar by Judy Camuso today too....

Re: [Maine-birds] Re: White-winged Dove

I thoroughly searched the neighborhood for a couple hours this afternoon, ending at 3:45, and saw no sign of the White-winged Dove.
