Re: [Maine-birds] Carolina Wren in winter?

I have had a pair overwintering in my yard in Hallowell for at least the past 6 years. There are now others dispersed throughout the neighborhood so they are well established.

[Maine-birds] Carolina Wren in winter - edit

Hi all,

I live in Poland, near the New Gloucester town line. This is the first time I remember ever seeing a Carolina Wren visiting my feeders in winter. Is this unusual?

Thank you,

[Maine-birds] Honoring Davis Finch

I am relaying the below, which is a call for contributions to support a special issue of New Hampshire Bird Records. Many in the Maine birding community knew Davis, and I think would be interested in honoring his memory this way.

Louis Bevier, Fairfield

We would like to sponsor an issue of New Hampshire Bird Records in memory and honor of Davis Finch and are seeking contributions to help us do that. Please help spread the word to anyone you think might like to honor Davis in this way. Feel free to forward this email or let me know if there's someone you think I should send it to.

How to Contribute You can contribute either online or by check.

Online Contributions:
• Visit: NH Audubon Donation Page
• Under Gift Designation, select "NH Bird Records & eBird Project Support."
• In the Comment Box, enter "Davis Finch."
Check Contributions:
• Make checks payable to NH Audubon, with "NHBR – Davis Finch" written in the memo line.
• Mail checks to:
NH Audubon – attn. Grace McCulloch 84 Silk Farm Rd.
Concord, NH 03301

Your support will help us celebrate Davis Finch's legacy and his profound impact on the birding community. Thank you for considering this opportunity to honor his memory.

Thank you!
Becky Suomala and
Grace McCulloch

Re: [Maine-birds] Digest for maine-birds@googlegroups.com - 2 updates in 2 topics

I had a pair of Fox Sparrows at my feeder as late as last week, also saw a pair on a trail about the same time. Seem to be gone now. Lots of White-throats, though.

Out with the dog at dawn, I heard a sweet, familiar whistled song, shook my head and thought, "No, must be a titmouse."

But this afternoon, a handsome Fox Sparrow did indeed come to hop around under my feeders, and I thought "You're late getting out of here! Deep freeze tonight."

Countable for the Pemaquid CBC tomorrow?
