This is the report for the 63rd Biddeford/Kennebunkport CBC that took place on Saturday, December 31st. We had about 40 birders. The day was cloudy with temperatures ranging from the low-40s in the morning to high-40s in the afternoon with a light south-south-west wind.
Total species 90, Total birds 10,808, Plus 2 CW species. This is the highest total species since 2013. We had high counts for 5 species: Lesser Scaup(2), Northern Harrier(6), Red-breasted Nuthatch(94), Brown Creeper(20), Winter Wren(2). We did not have any new low counts this year.
The bird of the day was of course the Northern Lapwing seen in a field on Arundel Rd by Dave Tucker. Other birds seen less frequently on this count were American Wigeon, Ring-necked Duck, Killdeer, Lesser Black-backed Gull, Catbird, Lapland Longspur and an Eastern Towhee. Count Week birds were Red Crossbill and White-winged Crossbill.
Thank-you to all who participated.
