from April 5, 2010: brief note -- inland Eiders

[Craig Kesselheim]

Hi all -- to add to the Eider strand today, here is an email I posted about 13 months ago that began an interesting and informative exchange about inland migration.

Cheers,
Craig

6 a.m. this morning, crossing the Penobscot at I-395, I estimate 200 Common Eiders were flying upriver and overhead. I'd be interested to hear what folks know about their inland movements and ultimate destination.

Also, 2 Tree Swallows, Essex Woods during a 5 minute stop-off en route to Houlton (my route, not theirs!).
