Quiet Day

Bird watching this morning along our usual route, was pretty much uneventful for such a beautiful day. Maybe with the bitter cold temperatures this week, the local bird population went to warmer climes.

A single male Common Goldeneye was seen in the Saco River just after sunrise. Granite Point was disappointing, as we failed to even see a Chickadee!

The Gut at Vines Landing in Biddeford Pool held quite a few Common Eider, and a smattering of Common Loons. A few Buffleheads flew through the gut in a big hurry, as if they were being chased by a mad man. The fun began when flocks of Canada Geese flew through the gut into the Pool. The lighting was just right and I share with you a few flight pictures. Click a thumbnail for a larger view.

 

Hopefully the skies will clear tomorrow and our birding adventure will be more rewarding. Stay tuned!

Happy birding!
