Hello Maine Birders,
There seems to be significant interest in seeing Barrow's Goldeneye; specifically on the Maine Rare Bird Alert GroupMe, which has generated some texts beyond the intent of that GroupMe. Gurnet Bridge on Route 24, at the Brunswick/Harpswell town line, has accurately been reported as a location to see this striking diving duck.
Parking at Gurnet Bridge is tricky/limited so I wanted to share an alternative site nearby. Woodward Point Preserve has ample parking, is completely devoid of road traffic, and only requires a short walk to the east from the parking area to get to an overlook of the New Meadows River. I have seen a drake Barrow's Goldeneye from there both times I have visited the site this month, including this afternoon.
Also of note there this afternoon was a flock of 59 Greater Scaup. Location information and distant images of the scaup can be found here:
Best,
Eric
