Rainy day activity

Despite the gloomy weekend, birds were still numerous if you were there to see them. Conditions for photography were terrible, but that did not stop the birds from flitting about the area.

My wife and I decided to forgo Evergreen this weekend and instead, birded our regular loop. From Granite Point to Biddeford Pool, the birding was not disappointing. Black-Bellied Plovers, Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs and Dunlins in full breeding color populated the beach at Curtis Cove. A lone pair of Common Terns were on the beach as seen from Bay Street in Biddeford Pool. Warblers flitted around the bushes along Etherington Pond near Fortunes Rock Beach.

A few opportunities did present themselves for a couple of photos, including a few shots of a Wilson’s Warbler near Fortunes Rock Beach. Enjoy these photos by simply clicking a thumbnail for a larger view. Comments and criticisms are greatly appreciated.

Happy birding!
