[Maine-birds] Addison Marsh, Great yellow-legs, Am widgeon and galwall

Hi birders,

I stopped at the Addison Marsh yesterday afternoon and scanned the marsh across from the boat launch. Nice group of birds present in the salt pannes and along the shore slightly downstream.

2 Greater yellow-legs

1 Dunlin

1 Red-throated loon (I would like to say salt panne but it was on the river) first for me at this location

1 Double-crested cormorant

55 Black ducks

36 Mallards (high count for me at the marsh)

1 Blue-winged teal

9 Green-winged teal

1 Gadwall

3 Am widgeon (2 males)

4 Canada geese (low for this time of year, did not count the entire marsh)

~300 Ring-billed gulls

~50 Herring gulls

+ Great bkacj-backed gull

The gull breakdown was a guestimate

Good birding,

[Maine-birds] Golden eagle mile 178 along I-95

Hi,

I was driving downeast Sat morning and passed an adult golden eagle soaring fairly low next to the road. It was a quite a surprise as I was on my way to a location in Washington County to count eagles on a project I am working on. Unfortunately, as I have aged, I am not as bold about instantly pulling off the road quickly with two 16-wheelers directly behind me.

Good birding.

A male northern harrier surprised me today as I stepped out of my truck to go for one of my walks around Deerings pond in Kittery Point. There was also a canadian goose on a nest.
My pictures are on my wildlife FB page. The hawk picture wasn't great, but, identifiable.
