Day 18.252: Saturday morning birding

Our nature group had planned a boating excursion today but rough seas resulted in that being canceled. I was already on my way to Kennebunkport when the cancellation came through, so a small group of us had a walk around a few downtown birding sites instead. This is some of what we saw. 

At the grist mill:

Double-crested cormorant and mallard

Canada geese
From Silas Perkins Park:

Great blue heron

Cooper’s hawk

Circled to a while trying to get some lift

Heard from the park, but we had to take a small detour to see it:

Only a moderate success, but great for our viewing.

Bald eagle - calling

Kind to stand at the top of this tree for us

Behind the Village Baptist Church:

Belted kingfisher

Least flycatcher 

House sparrow 

More house sparrows 

Great blue heron

Even more house sparrows 

We’ll attempt the boat trip again next week.
