Androscoggin County Snowy Owl, Peregrine, Snow Buntings, Waterfowl...

[Raven Watcher]

Hello All,

Used my monthly river survey as an excuse to search for Snowy Owls in Andrsocggin County. 

Found one off King Road. Sabattus opposite Mockingbird Lane.  I wonder if it was the same SNOW seen on the LA CBC.

From Auburn River Walk three adult Bald Eagles were seen two with carcasses of duck or gull sized birds.  A Peregrine Falcon was observed harrassing Rock Pigeons in Lewiston.

The Sabattus River in downtown Sabattus had three Hooded Mergansers and one Common Merganser along with usual Mallards.

The Little Andy Park off Second Street in Auburn was a good location to view approximately 28 Common Goldeneyes.

Snow Buntings were seen on Pearl Street in Turner (5) and in the large agricultural field along route 136 and the Androscoggin river (105) about a mile north of downtown Durham.

On Sunday morning observed a Northern Goshawk on Bowie Hill Road in Durham.

Good birding,

Dan Nickerson
