Quiet Day
March 10, 2007 · Print This Article
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!

John, Nice captures on those Geese! Sunday looks better but I am full on framming today. - Bob
Bob;
This morning was not much better, although a very cooperative drake mallard posed for me at the boat launch on the Saco River this morning. Wonderful light and great water reflection!
Going to hit it again this afternoon. Keep your eyes skyward, we are seeing Turkey Vultures everywhere.
