It's an American Widgeon :-(. I'm so sorry.
I passed it by another birder friend and took their word for it.
Sorry

Re: [Maine-birds] Amazing American Crow Migration Report from Mt Wachusett YESTERDAY
Peter Vickery, in Birds of Maine speaks of a Aug-Oct migration season with reports of "unusually large flocks" occurring around the state during short periods. Then a winter season with few crows inland and large flocks centered in a few city and coastal locations. The Waterville roost is the largest mentioned at 10,000 birds and smaller...

Re: [Maine-birds] Amazing American Crow Migration Report from Mt Wachusett YESTERDAY
I am surprised by the discussion of "migrating" crows. Aren't these simply the typical, nightly, late fall/winter, overnight, in-city roosting flights? I have been witnessing these for decades into Portland late every day in the fall and winter. I rough counted 3,000 in two trees one evening in Portland 15 years ago. The daily in-flights...

[Maine-birds] RFI - Red Crossbill feeding observations
Hi all, I'm writing to follow up on my previous requests for observations of eastern red crossbills feeding on conifers. This is an especially interesting year and time of year for crossbill feeding behavior. Last year there was a massive white pine cone crop in the Northeast that lots of type 12, type 2, type 4, and type 1 crossbills fed on until rather late in the spring. There...
[Maine-birds] fall feeder season, Nobleboro
A great time to sit and watch the feeder. All of our usual species are around and hungry.
Keeping up a water source the last few years, while an effort, has paid off.
The ever expanding perennial garden hasn't hurt either.

[Maine-birds] Davis Finch
Steve Myrick mentioned that new birders might not know Davis. He was a major power in the birding world in the pre-computer/facebook age. Davis, Will Russel, the late Ed Thompson and I headed off on the first attempt to tally 100 species in Maine in one day back in the late 60's. Started in Bangor and headed down to Kittery to get both the Cardinal and the House Finch, the only places they could be found at the...

[Maine-birds] The passing of Davis Finch
It is with great sadness that I have to share with you the passing of
Davis Finch who died last night at the age of 87.
While new birders may not know of him, Davis was a legend to me in my
early days of birding in the 1980's and 1990's. He co-founded Wings
Bird Tours with Will Russell in 1973 and led the idyllic life of a
birder who traveled around the world to see birds and share sightings
with birdwatchers from...
