Rainy day activity
May 20, 2007 · Print This Article
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.

I find that it is not the birds but birders who mind the rain. Some of my best birding has been done between raindrops.

Vern;
You hit the nail on the head! But when the lightning is flashing and the thunder booms, I take cover.
