We've observed a male house finch feeding a seed to what appears to be a female finch - it's too early for young, correct? So this must be mating behavior?Michelle GregoireWestbrook -- Maine birds mailing list maine-birds@googlegroups.com http://groups.google.com/group/maine-birds https://sites.google.com/site/birding207 --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Maine birds"...

[Maine-birds] Red-bellied Woodpeckers nesting in Poland
Hi all,A pair of Red-bellied Woodpeckers have apparently decided to nest - they've been excavating for about a week - in a dead tree that faces our front door and is within a few yards of said door and our deck . While I'm excited about this, I also want to make sure we don't stress the birds out. Do you think we should avoid using our front door and that part of our deck while they're nesting? Any other recommendations?Thank...
Re: [Maine-birds] FOY in West Newfield-Rock Haven lake
FOY eastern phoebe (will nest in barn) and great blue heron, 4/4 in Hollis. Incidentally same day a fisher peaked in and then an otter up from the Saco helped break the last skim ice on our pond. This is only our fifth spring but we would have expected a hooded merganser pair, a Canada goose pair and some wood ducks and mallards by now. With the ice finally out today we'll see. Bird Buddy claims to have counted a cowbird but I...

Re: [Maine-birds] FOY Phoebe and Tree Swallows
I usually get a few before the end of March here in central Maine. I had one lone individual last week in Fairfield. But the weather has not been conducive this year for early migrants. I usually get Phoebe by the end of March, as well, but not this year. Oddly, I had a very early Sapsucker the last week of March. Wally S.
