This weekly report has been posted on the Maine-Birds Google Group and our store’s Facebook Page for several years. I’m playing around with a new repository for these weekly reports. How does it look here? The archives are searchable at least, and it’s an easy way to encourage me to add more photos (at least one a week is my goal!).
My observations of note over the past seven days included the following:
– a few Evening Grosbeaks in and around our yard in Pownal all week.
