[Maine-birds] NO-Greater White-fronted Goose

I can commiserate. I spent a good amount of time scoping for it this morning, and while I did see geese way out in the field, the haze was just too intense.

A nice morning all the same with plenty of nice looks at bluebirds, mockingbirds, and killdeer!

[Maine-birds] FOY Rusty Blackbird, Biddeford

Just had a gorgeous male Rusty Blackbird patrolling the ground near my feeders. He called incessantly (low "chuck" notes and high-pitched playground-swing squeals). He did not show any interest in the feeders themselves and only examined the snow-covered ground from several feet away. His main interest was the water ditch in my backyard... he waded through the shallow water, turning over wet leaves, and pecking at small snail shells now and again.

Feeling very lucky to check off this beautiful migrant as a yard bird!

[Maine-birds] Great Gray Owl Newport NH

Drove with my son 2.5 hours to Newport, NH on Sat. and found the owl before we even got out of the car. It was perched on the Mile 55 sign. It stayed for about 10 minutes before flying across the road to some woods on the edge of the field. Many people were there. People are getting really close to this bird. I saw people doing selfies and trying for photos from 5-10 feet away even with very large lenses.

I used the opportunity to teach my 9 year old son about respecting wildlife and the importance of keeping a good distance.

Super cool bird. A first for both me and my son. I dipped 3 times on the one seen up north in Maine.

See the attached image.

Also that's a bummer about the GWFG. It was pretty reliable, though ridiculously far out at Lauholm.

I searched the last 3 days with no luck. My first time to Laudholm. Great place. Can't wait to check it out during migration. Did find a camera/binox/scope cover. If anyone lost let me know I'll get it to you. Says TELE PLUS on it.

Sean-

Yeah those covers are mine... I took them off my teleconverter and set them on the banister. There should be one white plastic one and the teleplus in silver lettering on the other. I'm not desperate for them but if we can find a way to easily get them back I'll do that. Thanks!
