Re: [Maine-birds] Red-breasted Nuthatch

Here in Nobleboro both the red-breasted and white-breasted have been at the sunflower seed all year.

What is new, is that a few Black Capped Chickadees returned yesterday.

Fun to see a Red-breasted Nuthatch for the first time in a while. Not a resident in my block.

[Maine-birds] Re: Bald Blue Jays- Liberty

Collin here in Camden. We have two blue jays and once cardinal at our feeder with the same molding state. Noticed it about 10 days ago. I was worried about disease but found a couple of resources that said it was common especially in August. One of the blue jays has shown some growth over the last week, more than the other anyway. The cardinal (if it's indeed the same bird we keep seeing) is still very bald. It's also how i learned that cardinals have black skin.

I searched and found a post from 2012 about Blue Jays and some Blackbirds that occasionally undergo a very severe molt, and that it's not a big deal. But they sure look pathetic! Anyone else seeing this around this year?

[Maine-birds] re White Ibis I reported...addendum- field marks.

I should properly have reported field marks for said birds. Dark, appearing black, with white underparts and the beginning of white curved line on the back. Pinkish bills. Apologies.

[Maine-birds] White Ibis. Monday 8/15/22. Late pm.

Viewed 3 in a tree on the north side of Harbor Road. A birder found them for us and took photos on my camera. (A Canon Power Shot SX60 HS.) They flew down behind trees, then we observed 5 of them flying across the road to the south side. No photo of that. We could see them farther out in the marsh, too far for good views with only bins.

Hearty thank you to Ben, the birder who found them and took the photos.

I didn't see them reported on eBird, which I don't input to.

[Maine-birds] Washington Co. Nelson's Sparrow 15 August

Just before six o'clock 15 August Wally and I saw a Nelson's Sparrow along with two Solitary Sandpipers and a Lesser Yellow-legs at the stinky little tidal inlet where Cow Point Road and Johnson Cove Road meet. It was an immature, I think. The photos are posted on both eBird and iNaturalist, where you can correct me if I've made a mistake. This brackish area has had both Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, and a Kingfisher recently.
