[Maine-birds] Crows eating suet
So, I have two suet feeders in my yard in Harpswell, because I have pairs of Downy, Hairy, Pileated, and Red-bellied Woodpeckers in my neighborhood, all of whom have been to the suet. Lately though, I have a bunch of crows after the suet. One of them has figured out it can fly up to the suet and stab at it, dropping stuff onto the ground. I now have anywhere from 2 to 10 crows and they can eat a suet pack in 2 days. Anyone...

[Maine-birds] House Wrens
Starting back & thru March, I started having a m/f pair of bluebirds coming to the feeders. Unfortunately my neighborhood consists of Rt. 27 Wiscasset, soooo not quite the best area or habitat for a wide variety of birds. At least we have the regulars and RB Nuts year round!! I love watching them. Example: this was only my 2nd ebirded checklist with bluebird at my abode. I've been here 8 yrs. It...

Re: [Maine-birds] Mystery bird - help with ID?
HI AndrewIt sounds a lot like the whistle-y song of the Baltimore Orioles I recorded yesterday at Lake Josephine in Easton. Baltimore Orioles are decidedly riparian here in Aroostook county. After migration they seem to settle in to areas with mature poplar trees along the river, pond and lake shores.Hope this helps.CheersBillOn Sat, Jun 10, 2023 at 5:19 PM Julia Hanauer-Milne <windyridgemaine@gmail.com>...
Re: [Maine-birds] Mystery bird - help with ID?
I just played it for Merlin, which came up with Baltimore Oriole. That's a possibility! 🤷🏻♀️On Sat, Jun 10, 2023 at 5:16 PM Julia Hanauer-Milne <windyridgemaine@gmail.com> wrote:My vote is for either tufted titmouse or Carolina wren.

[Maine-birds] Mystery bird - help with ID?
Hi all, I've been hearing this bird for weeks around my house here in Wayne, throughout the day. The call seems very simple, but I don't recognize it, and Merlin doesn't register at all. I've been trying for weeks with no luck, so thought I'd record it and post it here. Asked some exeperienced birder friends and they were likewise baffled. I have an amplified and un-amplified recording; adjust your volume accordingly. I...
[Maine-birds] Ride to Crested Caracara?
Since the Crested Caracara is being seen in Union and I'm once again down to my last resort to find a ride...if anybody south of Topsham/Brunswick is chasing this bird and wouldn't mind an extra passenger it would offer much relief to my current state of severe distress if I could bum a ride off of somebody again. I prefer not to ask but I am doing it anyway.Thanks,-Weston -- Maine birds mailing list maine-birds@googlegroups.com...

[Maine-birds] Interesting Vocalization: Whippoorwill [Follow-Up]
I received a follow-up message from Josh Fecteau who kindly sent a recording of perhaps the vocalization I heard. He was absolutely spot on. Do listen for this at the link below: Song, Growl-cluck Series, Wing Claps, & Growl PhraseThat's was exactly what I heard. Quite unworldly. Josh sent an image of a descriptive page from the...
