Re: [Maine-birds] FYI - Flooding at Brownfield Bog WMA (Oxford County)

Thanks for that info,  Eric.  I was thinking of going there this  week, but I don't own a pair of boots like that, so I'll change my plans.  I wonder if that Shrike is still being seen at the Kennebunk Plains . . . .

Hello Maine Birders,

 

I wanted to share that if you plan on going to Brownfield Bog WMA anytime soon, you better bring your wellies (and insect repellent).

 

I was there Friday morning and didn't get very far. There were several people in my group that didn't have knee high rubber boots so we essentially did a stationary count. The road beyond the dynamite shack had ankle deep flowing water for long stretches. It was very birdy and we picked up several of the marquee species directly from the parking area: Yellow-throated Vireo, Virginia Rail, Pied-billed Grebe and Yellow-billed Cuckoo. Check out our eBird checklist for the complete list: https://ebird.org/checklist/S143133390

 

Plenty of mosquitoes there too, as expected.

 

Good birding,

Eric
