Visitors:
23 visitors today.
Weather:
Today was absolutely gorgeous, in my opinion. Temps were in the upper 60's and the morning's NNW winds which were a little gusty at first died down or were very well blocked by the trees at the summit. The sky was perfect for spotting with a high and thin cloud ceiling. The sun was reaching us directly for most of the day. Visibility was good but with heat shimmer.
Raptor Observations:
Not a terrible day by any means but it was one of those counting days vs watching. Most birds were high and far, with only a couple close to the summit. Eagles were on the move today and remained very high overhead as they steadily moved NNE. A chase between a couple resident Bald Eagles was very entertaining, with both birds side by side coming towards us, the left bird did a Top Gun stunt and rolled completely upside down under the righthand bird and in a full barrel roll repositioned itself on the other side, now becoming the right most bird. To our S today we had some unexpected rain moving NW to SE which was right in southern Maine. It was a long band which appeared to box us out from the eastern flyway. Shortly after the time when we could see the dark clouds stretch out past the coast, the flight really shut down. Had the rain been moving SW to NE maybe we would have had birds in front but this looked like a Do Not Cross yellow tape police line, which ended the migration for the day.
Non-raptor Observations:
Northbound birds were a little hard to find but we did get a few more firsts for the season, which include: Bank Swallow Chipping Sparrow Chimney Swift
Predictions:
Tomorrow looks like it could be frustrating at times with the potential for some light showers passing through. Winds should be light and starting out from the NE but shifting SE in the afternoon. Temps drop tonight and throughout tomorrow, only getting into the mid 40's. I'm hoping the rain is more helpful than a hindrance tomorrow.

Visitors:
People scattered pretty quickly with the pop-up shower but later started to come out again like the Munchkins realizing the Wicked Witch has been dispatched. It really was no miracle, what happened was just this The wind began to switch...
Weather:
Today was not at all what I was expecting or prepared for. At the start there was a very small amount of blue sky way way off to the E, and to the W the skies were getting darker by the minute. By the second hour rain had started to fall which later turned to drizzle but lasted about 2hrs. Wind speeds from the SSE also increased and dropped the mid 40 degree temps down a little. Once the skies dried up there were some hints of blue sky momentarily before becoming totally overcast again and for the remainder of the day. The afternoon was mostly dead calm with a little fog in the distance but overall excellent visibility.
Raptor Observations:
What a weird day it was. Nothing was really moving out ahead of the fast approaching rain, nor was there much activity from the local crowd. Immediately post rain some of the resident Broad-wings took to the sky and sounded off for a few minutes as they took laps around the summit, but an hour later the skies were mostly empty again. I only saw one Eagle briefly today, which is unusual since they can be found at almost any time during the day. We did get really nice looks at a Merlin in the pm hours along with a very close Osprey carrying it's catch.
Non-raptor Observations:
Birds were laying low today and I was struggling to hear anything singing and it was even more difficult to get eyes on birds. 23 species were eventually identified from the summit today.
Predictions:
Should I bother? I'm being told it should be sunny and in the 60's with a NNW wind, gusting at times. I hope to beat today's numbers.

Visitors:
The weekend event seemed like a hit, with a lot of people attending the different workshops and talks. The Hawkwatch ID workshop had 21 people listening to Derek share history and knowledge about hawk-counting. Thankfully people were able to put some of their new knowledge to the test as a few different species came by during that time period. 59 visitors and many more just passing by today. My young friend Ophelia came back to help me and now holds the title for youngest birder to correctly ID a countable migrant in the fastest time on the first try. 5 years old? Osprey seen and identified in 1.03 seconds!
Weather:
The weather was nice for the Feathers Over Freeport event, which hasn't always been the case historically. The day started out dead calm and warm in the sun. Skies were mostly clear until late morning when some high cirrus clouds began to move in from the W. Temps climbed into the upper 50's by midday but started to drop again as the morning NNW winds increased and swung around to the SSE and S for the afternoon. By the final couple hours the skies were mostly cloudy but it was still bright and the winds were gusty at times, pushing in some cool ocean air.
Raptor Observations:
It seemed like we might have a tough time finding birds for visitors attending the weekend event, with bright blue skies and only one bird for the first hour. Thankfully more birds started to trickle through and a few of them passed close to or over the summit. We had some nice looks at Merlin, Broad-winged Hawks and Eagles today. Birds were finding lift easily in the first third of the day and seemed to have been a little lower in the final two thirds when the winds came up and temps dropped. Some of the disputes between Red-tails and Eagles and Sharp-shinned vs Cooper's were fun to watch today.
Non-raptor Observations:
One of my favorite summertime sounds was heard once this morning for the first time this season, that being a Black-throated Green Warbler's song. A few Red Crossbills made a low pass on the summit in plain sight which was cool, as they have been very sneaky lately, only being heard and not seen. A fast moving bird caused a bit of a startle in the second it took to identify it, which was a Pigeon and fairly rare for this site. We tried making it into something more rare. 29 species were seen or heard today. Northbound birds include: 91 Double-crested Cormorants 10 Tree Swallows 1 Barn Swallow 1 Palm Warbler 1 Purple Finch 1 Rock Pigeon
Predictions:
I'm really hoping tomorrow's winds remain light, as I think it could be good, or if the winds speed up maybe similar to today. The cloud cover tomorrow should be helpful for spotting but maybe not enough to block thermal production. Temps should be mild and in the low 50's. The winds are looking to be mostly southerly.

Visitors:
The park seemed empty today. A precocious young birder named Ophelia came back for another season and helped spot some hawks. I think she discovered a new species, which she has now named the White Shield. Be sure to post any sightings to ebird. John, James, Jeff, Stephen? I think I forgot, again, sorry. It was good to meet you. Thanks for sticking it out on a slow day and hopefully you get a chance to see a bunch of birds moving before the season ends. Don't forget Feathers Over Freeport tomorrow and the Hawk ID workshop at the summit at 10:30am. https://www.maine.gov/dacf/parks/discover_history_explore_nature/activities/feathers_over_freeport.shtml
Weather:
The first and second half of the day felt quite different. The morning winds from the N were blustery and made the low 40 degree air seem chilly whereas the afternoon was almost dead calm and temps climbed into the upper 50's. Skies were mostly blue with a couple tiny clouds visible for a brief moment. Heat shimmer was intense today.
Raptor Observations:
Another very slow start to the day. It was a slow drip of birds throughout the day with a slightly steadier flow for a few minutes during the final hour. Birds were gaining some lift despite the breeze and were disappearing overhead. The best and closest look at a Broad-winged Hawk occurred early in the day as two birds passed in opposite directions about 25' in front of me, one bird calling as it buzzed by and you could see the hard palate of it's mouth.
Non-raptor Observations:
A White-throated Sparrow and a Northern rough-winged Swallow were new birds for the season. The summit remained mostly quiet again, with only 23 species being seen or heard, momentarily.
Predictions:
The weather for Saturday looks a little different than it did earlier in the week. Temps should be pleasant and in the mid to upper 50's. Visibility should be decent but we may be lacking some clouds for eye contrast. Winds look variable, starting from the NW moving through N and settling on SE. I don't know how much stock I'd put in the wind predictions, given they haven't held up for a few days now. Hopefully we get some birds passing by while the park is full of visitors.

Visitors:
Slow start to visitors as some may have turned away as a result of the unannounced paving operation which commenced this am in the parking lot. 23 visitors, including a large outdoor group who were prepared with binoculars in hand. I hope to see you all Saturday for the Feathers Over Freeport hawk ID workshop at the summit, 10:30am.
Weather:
Totally clear skies helped provide some warmth from the direct rays of the sun to contend with cooler air temps which started in the mid 30's and climbed just to 50 by the end of the day. Cool winds shifted between N and WNW and never hit the southerly direction we were waiting for. Visibility was not great, with a lot of heat shimmer.
Raptor Observations:
It was awfully slow today and even local birds seemed more subdued. Eagles were even hard to come by for most of the day. No real highlights to share.
Non-raptor Observations:
Pretty slow for song birds and water fowl. The trees were devoid of song too. We did get a nice look at Blue-headed Vireo, Pine Warbler and a Palm Warbler. I thought it was a one time joke but the Boeing Raven is back and it's missing more parts.
Predictions:
Winds out of the NW switch to S and SSE in the afternoon, sounds familiar. We may have a few more clouds to help us spot birds and temps should be a little warmer than today.

Visitors:
Mark your calendars for this weekend April 27-28 for Feathers Over Freeport, a birdwatching and nature discovery weekend for all ages. There will be multiple activities, walks and talks and a food truck serving gourmet grilled cheese. Derek will be hosting a raptor ID workshop at 10:30 at the summit just in front of where I'll be working. He'll be discussing the history of the project and hawkwatching and how we go about trying to identify these birds in flight, when they're not always right in your face. Copy and paste the link below for more. https://www.maine.gov/dacf/parks/discover_history_explore_nature/activities/feathers_over_freeport.shtml
Weather:
Today was a mixed bag of weather conditions. The morning started out completely overcast and grey with a light breeze from the SE. Temps started out chilly but started to rise quickly. Suddenly the winds picked up and started blowing hard enough to move trees around, which had me preparing for a long slow day. Winds settled a little bit as the first batch of drizzle/rain approached from the W. The drizzle wasn't too bad but it lasted long enough to don the waterproof gear to prevent being saturated. Rain eventually passed by early afternoon, the skies began to clear and the sun peeked out for a while causing a lot of heat and humidity. by late in the day with only about 40 minutes to go, another rain shower approached and caught us for about a half hour. The rain stopped just in time to leave.
Raptor Observations:
I was hopeful this morning, hoping to get a few birds out ahead of the approaching front. Hawkwatch Junco spotted the first bird of the day for me, which was a Kestrel. A couple more birds pushed N early and I thought I was about to be seeing more but the wind, and soon after, the rain, shut down the flights. In the afternoon once the sun came out it took about 40 minutes for the flights to start up again. While I was waiting for more migrants we got some nice looks at some of the multiple pairs of Broad-winged Hawks out displaying and calling back and forth. More birds were fighting hard to move ahead of the second round of rain and we likely would have seen some more if it had held off for just a little while longer.
Non-raptor Observations:
The area seemed a lot more birdy this morning and some non raptors were also in front of the wet weather. 38 species were identified from the summit today which is a nice change. Northbound birds include: 84 Double Crested Cormorants 15 Tree Swallows 6 Brown-headed Cowbirds 5 Great Blue Herons 2 Red-winged Blackbirds 2 Bar Swallows 3 Red Crossbills 1 Yellow-rumped Warbler 1 Common Grackle
Predictions:
Tomorrow we have winds from the NW in the morning, changing to S with strong gusts in the afternoon. Sounds nice. Temps will be a little cooler than today and in the 40's but the skies should be pretty clear. I am hoping we can pick up where we left off today.

Visitors:
25 people visited the Hawkwatch today, including several with binoculars who braved the conditions for a bit.
Weather:
It was bright and sunny all day, but the S and SSE wind in the face all day was brutal. It was a little breezy to start, but didn't take long for the wind to pick up and become very gusty. Temperatures reached the mid-50s.
Raptor Observations:
Despite the strong seabreeze, hawks were moving today. Many were quite a distance out or up, but some nice close flyovers by Broad-winged Hawks were had. Local Broad-winged, Red-tailed, and Bald Eagles were out and about. Red-tails in particular were actively kiting in the late afternoon.
Non-raptor Observations:
The wind was perhaps too much for passerines. Only 1 Yelow-rumped Warbler and 3 Tree Swallows were observed as migrants. Several flocks of Double-crested Cormorants were viewed however, with a total of 201 counted. 25 species were observed from the summit today.
Predictions:
A weak area of low pressure moving along with a cold front is likely to produce showers in the morning, although the extent of them is uncertain. With southwesterly winds forecast for most of the day, there should be birds moving as long as there isn't too much rain. The front should clear during the day, bringing showers to an end, but perhaps not shifting the winds until the end of the count period. A little clearing and southwest winds could make for an interesting afternoon, but I probably just jinxed it for Zane.

[Maine-birds] Re: Mystery Solved, Probably (Great Blue Heron)
We have at least one Great Blue Heron that comes every fall (and occasionally in spring) to feast on the overly-abundant Voles in our habitat in Kittery. it was a surprise that first year, for sure.

Observation start time: 08:00:00 Observation end time: 16:00:00 Total observation time: 8 hours Official Counter Zane Baker Observers: Jim Pinfold, Joan Campbell
Visitors:
It was more quiet at the summit with school vacation week behind us. 19 Visitors today.
Weather:
Upon arrival the skies were clear without a cloud in sight and the chilly winds were gusting from an ambiguous direction. Variable winds continued to blow throughout the day but we did have some periods of calm, which was very welcome. The surrounding areas reported very strong NW for most of the day but we were lucky enough to be a little sheltered by the trees. Skies remained clear all day which made for a lot of heat distortion in the landscape when viewed through optics. Temps were on the cool side and just barely reached fifty
Raptor Observations:
The skies were really dead for most of the day. At times I couldn't find a single bird flying. The birds that were up, which was a few locals, remained low to the trees and could be seen getting pushed around by the winds. Of the two birds I counted, I'm a bit skeptical of the Osprey being a migrant and suspect it might have been commuting to a local stream. This was extremely slow for a sunny day in mid April.
Non-raptor Observations:
Same story for songbirds. The summit more closely resembled a day in January with regards to bird sound. Periods of complete silence occurred multiple times throughout the day even during the calm winds. A few Tree Swallows were foraging during a more calm and warm part of the day at the same time I noticed some flying insect surrounding my head. I counted one Yellow-rumped Warbler flying N today.
Predictions:
Tomorrow could be one of those very frustrating days with an unrelenting SSE ocean breeze blowing in your face, making you feeling like Tawny Kitaen shooting a White Snake video, for 8hrs. Temps should be in the low 50's but feeling much cooler with strong gusty winds. Clouds should be minimal. Hopefully there are more birds to be seen than today and maybe some Falcons get pushed in from the coast.

Visitors:
It was a busy day at the park, with 40 people stopping by the site to chat and ask questions.
Weather:
Today started with mostly clear skies and a light breeze from the NW. Clouds slowly started to fill in throughout the morning, becoming mostly cloudy by the early afternoon. The winds weren't exactly what was predicted or what we had hoped for. Winds shifted through a westerly direction in the morning and moved to mostly SSE for most of the day with limited periods of our beloved SW. During the midday hours we did experience some gusting and chilly temps. The afternoon was a mix of calm followed by light winds with an onshore flow. Temps just barely reached 50. Visibility was good.
Raptor Observations:
It was good day of hawkwatching with many birds passing directly overhead. The action started very abruptly at the end of the first hour. We went from no birds moving, to a sudden kettle of 14 BW's and then more kept flowing through for the next few hours. Birds were coming at us form the W and SW mostly. Birds were finding plenty of lift today as well, with many appearing as small specks when viewed through binoculars overhead. Birds passed through in smaller numbers, often 3-6 at a time and often solo. I apologize to everyone for my quick-on-the-trigger mistaken ID. Sorry for the disappointment.
Non-raptor Observations:
a Blue-headed Vireo and a couple Pine Warblers were active at the summit this morning, but things got quiet fairly early with the addition of the wind. There were not many song birds moving today. 67 Cormorants and 12 Tree Swallows were counted moving N. The highlight was a pair of Sandhill Cranes Derek had spotted moving WSW mid morning.
Predictions:
Tomorrow looks like a blue sky day through and through. Temps will likely be in the low 50's but the winds might pose a small challenge. NW winds are predicted to be blowing around 10mph but gusting into the 20mph range which may slow migration. It is April though, so it's hard to say for sure.

Visitors:
About 6 soaking wet visitors and 15 dry.
Weather:
I delayed the start until 11:30 am EST due to rain and patchy fog. I arrived as the last few raindrops were falling, or so I thought. Visibility was improving quickly and the clarity of images was excellent with no heat distortion. Some fog lingered near the coast and small finger-like projections would rise from the trees before evaporating. By early afternoon, the rain I expected to move through after the count period arrived early and soaked us for a good hour. We were prepared but the hikers and runners were not. The rain eventually passed and the skies started to clear with some nice breaks of sun. Temperature were pretty comfortable and winds were almost imperceivable for most of the time I was there with the exception of a light N breeze during the final hour
Raptor Observations:
This was not the afternoon I thought it might be. I look forward to the days when we get shut out by morning rain only to return to an empty park and lots of birds later in the afternoon. I think we might have had that happen if the second shower had moved further N of us. Seconds before we felt the rain, with skies darkening to the W, we suddenly had a kettle of 13 BW's pop up above the horizon line. The conditions felt great for a decent afternoon flight but with the passing shower the flights were grounded rather quickly. By the time the sun came out it was a little too late. A few local birds came back out to display in what seemed like a spotlight, as the sky was fairly dark but there was a narrow band of sun which was highlighting birds beautifully as they passed through it.
Non-raptor Observations:
It would appear there was a good flight last night and fallout conditions in some local migrant traps. However, that would have been hard to tell by the activity at the summit. Birds were relatively quiet and there wasn't much moving through either. I was pleased to be greeted by our first Blue-headed Vireo singing away as I crested the summit.
Predictions:
I think tomorrow will be busy with birds and people. Temps in the 50's with minimal cloud cover should be good for thermals, and a SW wind will be a nice push N for birds. Winds may gust a little in the afternoon which could sheer the tops off thermals and maybe bring birds lower. If birds are moving I'm hoping we get some good flight-lines going. This is one of the few days of solid SW winds predicted. I'll have my clickers ready to go!

[Maine-birds] RFI - Song Sparrow disease??
Hi all - Got this query from a birding friend in Hancock County and hope to tap into the listserv's collective wisdom. Thanks in advance.
Craig K
SW Harbor
============
I just saw a song sparrow around our feeders with a whitish, yellow efflorescence around one of its eyes. I tried to take a pic but it wasn't cooperating. Should I be worried?
