[Maine-birds] Sidney/Waterville kestrel

First kestrel of the year today—but not the ones at my house. This one was flicking its tail on West River Road right on the Waterville city line. I'm impatiently waiting for our neighborhood kestrels. The box is refurbished for year 2. -- Maine birds mailing list maine-birds@googlegroups.com http://groups.google.com/group/maine-birds https://sites.google.com/site/birding207 --- You received this message because...

[Maine-birds] Possible Trumpeter Swan Pelreco

Hi all,I think Brad Woodward's Tundra Swan may be a Trumpeter Swan. Not 100% sure and have no size comparisons, but this is a mostly white swan with dark bill (no yellow on lores but not all Tundras have yellow). Also has rufous on the head which extends down the neck which is line with some Trumpeters. Not sure if that is just a result of staining though. Still being seen now at 12:53 behind the Pelreco Building at the Scarborough...

[Maine-birds] Possible tundra swan at Pelreco

There is what appears to be a tundra swan at the tell Pelreco building on Scarborough Marsh. The bird is solid white with a tannish neck and head. The bill appears to be solid black with no hint of orange. The neck is very straight without the S curve of a mute. It is straight out, at the far edge directly across from the parking area as of 10:30 a.m. -- Maine birds mailing list maine-birds@googlegroups.com http://groups.google.com/group/maine-birds...

Re: [Maine-birds] Purple Finch returns (but still no RBNH's)

Seems the same has happened with the red breasted nuthatches here in Saco; my sister has had 2-3 or more year-round for a number of years but this year we have seen none since late October. No building or disruptions in the area; they must have been irrupting somewhere else!
