Willets, Egrets and foxes oh my
June 12, 2007 · Print This Article
Continuing from the previous article.
Late Sunday morning, my wife and I went to the Fuller Farm which is west of Scarborough, Maine. We walked the trails looking for birds and other wildlife. The Bobolinks were absent, but a Chestnut-Sided Warbler was seen and others heard throughout the woods. The time of day kept our species count down, but we recorded a Pileated Woodpecker and an Indigo Bunting. We are going to revisit the farm this weekend and will start as soon as the sunrises, which should allow for more birds to be seen.
On First Avenue in Biddeford Pool Saturday morning, we saw Tree Swallows exhibiting breeding behavior on a powerline. (photos below) A cooperative Eastern Willet allowed a few photographs at Granite Point later in the day.
This is the final installment of the series of articles which highlighted our birding adventures this past weekend. The photos below are also highlights mentioned in this and the other two articles. Simply click a thumbnail for a larger view. Comments and criticisms are greatly appreciated.

John, Great captures! Perfect exposure on those tricky white ones!!! Bob
Wow! I love the Egret pictures. I stumbled across a great over here on the other side of Mt. Washington (in NH). I didn’t know what it was. Thanks for all you do.
Bob;
It had to be some of the best light conditions I have ever had!

Tom;
Thank you for visiting and your comments, it’s greatly appreciated!
Get yourself a good bird ID book, Birds of New England is a great one to help with identification.
