Like everyone else says, Saturday was a great day to be out.
I tallied 52 species day long at Cathance River Preserve in Topsham, and
the rivers in Bowdoinham as well as our farm. Interesting watching a
great blue heron at the dam in Brunswick catch a fish and then be attacked
by two black-backed gulls (heron won, and swallowed the fish). Only 10 species
of warblers, the usual, but all beautiful. Solitary sandpiper at a wet area near our
barn paddocks. Every year there is one sandpiper there. I count on him/her.
Female towhee at our feeders, first in years, and FOY white-crowned sparrows.
Most yellow-rumps have moved on. May is such a lovely month.
