[Maine-birds] Glossy Ibis. 34, plus egrets. Biddeford Pool, Marsh near Fortunes Rock.
Yesterday (4/29) my friend and I went to look for the Summer Tanager at Biddeford Pool. Apparently it had flown. VERY windy. We continued along the ocean road, just enjoying being out, a rare treat. We went by the marsh around the corner from Fortunes Rock, there spying egrets! Upon looking closer there were at least 34 Glossy Ibis, as well as active Great and Snowy egrets. We watched them feeding to close to the the road, flying...

[Maine-birds] BLACK-BELLIED WHISTLING-DUCKS - Camden, 27-28 Apr
Passing along a report of a group of at least nine Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks that were photographed in a private yard in Camden on the 27th and 28th. The homeowner is "very private and doesn't want people over" but I wanted to share this sighting in hopes that people could check public areas around Camden that may attract this flock. I'd focus on shallow freshwater ponds, keeping in mind that two of Maine's three previous...
[Maine-birds] Two Snowy x Little Egret hybrids - Falmouth, 28 Apr
A quick note about being extra careful with egrets this summer: On yesterday's bird walk at Gilsland Farm in Falmouth, we found what I initially called a 'pure looking' Little Egret in the marsh off the south end of the West Meadow. The two "spaghetti-like" plumes off the nape were obvious, so we shared scope views until the bird moved out of view. I went back after the walk to get a closer view and unfortunately realized it was...

[Maine-birds] Washington Co. coastal birds
Thurs. 28 April . At about 9:30am I looked up out the window just in time to see the last (6 or more) of a flock of birds flying along the edge of the land at Cow Point, between us and the outer islands (Halifax, The Brothers, Scabby etc), but much farther from the islands and closer to shore. They were going fast, necks and legs out-stetched, so probably not herons. It all happened so fast I didn't notice much else, they were...

[Maine-birds] Orange-crowned Warbler --Saco River Walk
I found an Orange-crowned Warbler in the bushes of the "magic hillside"
(under the powerlines past the Saco Treatment Plant) late this morning.
First one I have seen in the spring. Sort of a consolation for not
seeing the Yellow-throated Warbler at Bidd. Pool.
