[Maine-birds] Repeat Presumpscot River feeding frenzy

Eagles, ospreys, herons, and hundreds upon hundreds of cormorants feeding in the river and standing around in close-packed scrums on the Presumpscot mud flats adjacent to Middle Road in Falmouth. Activity occurs in pulses as fresh schools of fish are spotted.

Best and only safe place to pull over and observe is traveling north on Middle Road just before the bridge on the right.

[Maine-birds] 5:30 am Rose-breasted Grosbeaks - Nobleboro

A pair of grosbeaks hit the feeder early today, the third day we've seen them. The goldfinches were not impressed, but the doves just settled right beside them. A purple finch has been around as well.

[Maine-birds] Monhegan Island bird sightings alert

There have already been a number of unusual sightings on Monhegan this spring, including a first island record of Black-necked Stilt over the past couple days (Monhegan species #241), reported to eBird by Laura Desmond and Luke Seitz. So it is time to remind birders about the WhatsApp Monhegan Birds sightings alert. To be added to the group, make sure you have WhatsApp downloaded on your phone and email me your phone number to brett.ewald90ATgmail.com. It's a great way to share what you're seeing while on the island or keep up to date with what you're missing if you not there. :)

I will be posting the next sightings update to The Birds of Monhegan book, including the recent highlights, in the near future to The Birds of Monhegan Facebook page. Check it out.

FOYs for me today: Two hummingbirds finally found their way to my yard, along with a Gray Catbird, and - joy! - a beautiful male Baltimore Oriole.

[Maine-birds] Webber Pond, Bremen

Had a rose breasted grosbeak at the feeder yesterday – – first in a couple of years and a real treat – –

Wood ducks back-and-forth on the pond and occasional ring necked ducks—

and less frequently a goldeneye or two /

Great blue herons are back in the cove – –

Really enjoy individual feeder reports as well as the larger reports – – and rely on accounts of orioles and hummingbirds in in southern Maine to alert me to get my oranges and hummingbird feeders out. Thanks
