It was a week of catching up, so birding time was limited. Nonetheless, I enjoyed a few observations of note over the past six days, highlighted by a successful twitch of the LOGGERHEAD SHRIKE at the Kennebunk Plains on the 25th (with Jess Costa; photo above).
Otherwise, there was a single Red Crossbill over our property in Durham on 6/26 (with Jeannette), and today at Scarborough Marsh, 3 Lesser Yellowlegs (one at Eastern Road, two at Pelreco) – the first of fall! Yes, southbound shorebird migration is now underway!
TOUR REPORTS:
Still catching up on tour reports, a brief rundown of my Rangeley Birding Workshop for Down East Adventures from early June.
TOURS AND EVENTS:
Our next tours with availability is our July 10th Eastern Egg Rock and Whale Watch with Cap’n Fish’s in Boothbay Harbor and our July 22nd charter to Seal Island via Stonington. You know we’ll be looking for that Tufted Puffin, especially with our extended charter time at Seal.
