Day 18.318: Saturday birding part 1

Our nature group gathered in Biddeford Pool on Saturday afternoon. Here is some of what caught my eye and was caught by my camera on The Pool side:

Bufflehead

Common eiders

Rock pigeons

American herring gull

Common loon

Groundsel tree. Even from a few feet away, it looked like this plant was in flower - rather than these feathery seeds

And on the coastal side:

Red-breasted merganser

Red-breasted merganser

Buffleheads

Red-breasted mergansers

Surf scoters

Ring-billed gull

Remote-controlled sailing dinghy - I was impressed to see it tacking in a fairly stiff breeze - somehow it seemed like it would much harder than sailing a boat while on board 

Horned grebe

The weather closing in

A smaller group went on to Fortune's Rocks Beach and nearby pools, but I'll save that for tomorrow.
