[Maine-birds] Common Mergansers on the Bagaduce River, Brooksville

For the last week we have had a flotilla of Common Mergansers. They arrive in a whoosh and travel like on a navel manuever swimming, diving, skittering over the water. Must be some sort of cooperative feeding behavior. This morning at about 0700 somewhere between 35 and 50 of them swooped into the cove and were dashing around --flying, diving, flapping over the water for about 20 minutes then they were...

[Maine-birds] 22 March ANP Not sure about the ducks

At 5:30 on an overcast day (22 March) I saw two ducks near shore between Sand Beach and Thunder Hole. I think they were Mallards, seemed to have a greenish sheen on top of their heads, but the lighting was bad for my Point and Shoot camera, and my eyes are worse than the camera. I didn't add them to my eBird list. Where is the best place to post fuzzy photos so I can get ID help and comments. There is a...
