Fort Foster - November 2023

by Laurie Pocher

It was a very November-y day at Fort Foster — overcast and cool and a little breezy near the water. We started out on the wooded trails, hoping to pick up some late migrating warblers or wrens. We kept hearing a Carolina Wren calling, but couldn’t get eyes on it. A beautiful male Red-Bellied Woodpecker posed for some photos, while some less cooperative Golden-Crowned Kinglets and Brown Creepers flitted around us. A few Hermit Thrushes skulked in the brush, and some Black-Capped Chickadees, Tufted Titmice and White-Breasted Nuthatches flew back and forth across the trail.

Blue Jays, American Crows, and a Downy Woodpecker were all worked up about something, and a huge flock of American Robins flew overhead, presumably spooked by a raptor. We later saw a couple of Sharp-Shinned Hawks hunting overhead, and decided they were the likely culprits.

From the beach, we saw lots of Red-Breasted Mergansers and several Common Loons, with a lone Northern Gannet off in the distance. We also saw Black and Surf Scoters, and three species of Gulls: Herring, Great Black-Backed, and Bonaparte’s.

The marsh held some great surprises for us, including seven Wood Ducks, a Green-Winged Teal, and a Muskrat! A few Song Sparrows and Cardinals were hanging out in the shrubs bordering the trail.

On our way to the pier, we were surprised again — this time by a late Prairie Warbler. Luckily Ilsa was able to snap a photo so we could get a positive ID. While we waited for it to pop back out in the open, several large flocks of Double-Crested Cormorants flew overhead, looking more like a clown-car than a migration V-formation. We estimated 150 DCCO in total.

A couple of Yellow-Rumped Warblers were actively fly-catching in a juniper tree, where we also saw a House Finch and a couple of Song Sparrows. The lawn and shrubs nearby served up a bonanza of sparrows, including Chipping, Field, White-Throated, Swamp, and Savannah. The elusive Carolina Wren finally showed its face, and a very photogenic Northern Mockingbird posed for us.

From there we walked out on the pier, where a single Red-Throated Loon took flight as a Bald Eagle landed on the rocks near the lighthouse. We wrapped up our morning by watching a small flock of Long-Tailed Ducks flying low and fast across the water.

Other sightings over the course of our walk included Mallard, Common Eider, Ruby-Crowned Kinglet, Red-Breasted Nuthatch, Eastern Bluebird, Cedar Waxwing, American Goldfinch, Dark-Eyed Junco, All in all, we saw 45 species in total.

Our next outing will be the Christmas Bird Count in December. Until then… happy birding!

2023 Fall Birding at Mount Agamenticus

by Laurie Pocher

The Maine Young Birders Club spent three glorious hours hiking around the summit of Mount A on a bright, chilly, fall morning. We covered parts of the Big A, Sweetfern, Ring, and Blueberry Bluff Trails, looking for thrushes and warblers in the woods, and raptors on the summit. It wasn’t the birdiest day ever, but we saw some unexpected birds.

Several Eastern Bluebirds greeted us in the parking lot, squabbling over a Bluebird house, while a few Yellow-Rumped Warblers and a single Eastern Phoebe hunted for insects nearby. A group of Hermit Thrushes hopped along the trail ahead of us for a while, and a Common Yellowthroat played hide and seek in the scrub. We heard and saw a few White-Throated Sparrows and Song Sparrows, a couple of Blue-Headed Vireos, a Brown Creeper, an American Robin, Golden-Crowned Kinglets, a Black-Throated Green Warbler, and a Hairy Woodpecker.

Our first surprise of the morning was an Osprey flying overhead — a bird that should have headed south by now. A short time later we heard a Common Raven and a Pileated Woodpecker, as well as the very distinctive call of a couple of Fish Crows flying overhead with a large flock of American Crows.

Back at the summit, we paused for a group photo, and were surprised when a small raptor flew by with prey in its talons that it proceeded to eat on the wing. While we debated what it could be, another raptor soared past — this one was undoubtedly a Northern Harrier with a distinctive white rump patch and owlish face. We later confirmed from photos that the first was an American Kestrel.

Other species included Northern Cardinal, Blue Jay, Red-Breasted Nuthatch, American Robin, and Dark-Eyed Junco. In total, we saw 27 species at Mount A. You can see the full checklist here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S152171184

Stay tuned for the trip announcement for our November outing coming soon!

Monhegan Fall Birding

by Marion Sprague

Thanks to a generous donation from Acadia Birding Festival, the Maine Young Birders took to the seas on Saturday, September 23rd to visit Monhegan Island, a small, rocky island in Muscungous Bay about 10 miles offshore. We had 10 young birders, along with parents and family members join us on this adventure. Despite some early morning fog, the seas were calm and visibility was fantastic—we could see the Camden Hills over 40 miles away! The trip started with a Great Blue Heron sitting on one of the boats near the Hardy Boat dock. Along the hour boat ride to the island, we picked up a few Northern Gannets, a Common Loon, Laughing Gulls, Black Scoters, Black Guillemots, Great Black-backed Gulls, and Herring Gulls.

The biggest highlights of the boat ride were not avian, but harbor porpoises, seals, and an ocean sunfish. Not to be outdone, just as we were approached the island a shout rang out: “Minke Whale!” Luke, one of our young birders, had spotted a lone Minke Whale surfacing between the Duck Islands!

After we re-grouped at the dock we started up the hill toward town. We got our first warbler of the day just at the top of the hill where we saw two Yellow Warblers flitting around the apple trees. We also saw a Ruby-throated Hummingbird, the first of several on the island, taking advantage of the late-blooming jewelweed.

From there we headed toward the Ice Pond, where we picked up a flock of Cedar Waxwings foraging in a Mountain Ash, a Cape May Warbler, and a Yellow-rumped Warbler. Walking to the Ice Pond, we noticed several agitated Black-capped Chickadees but did not see any predators. We did not have to wait long to find out why they were so keyed up! As we were enjoying the colorful waxwings a Sharp-shinned Hawk swooped in, grabbed a waxwing, and flew off! While we agreed it was sad to see the waxwing meet its fate, it was thrilling to witness the speed and agility of the hawk in action! From here we walked the trail to the backside of the Ice Pond where there was a continuing Green Heron. We all got great looks as it foraged along the shoreline.

We headed back toward town, picking up a Baltimore Oriole behind the school. We made a quick stop at the Community Garden picking up another Ruby-throated Hummingbird and a few Song Sparrows before heading to grab lunch at the Barnacle. We hiked up to the lighthouse to enjoy a relaxing lunch and take in the spectacular views. After lunch, we headed back toward town picking up our first of the resident Ring-necked Pheasants that live on the island.

We made our way to Lobster Cove, adding a large mixed flock of Black and White-winged Scoters to our list, and many Common Eiders on the water in the cove. Day trips on the island pass very quickly and before we knew it, it was time to make our way back the dock to meet our boat. We made a few pitstops along the way, picking up a Prairie Warbler for our trip list!

We had a great outing with a total of 44 species. Check out our trip list here.

As a nonprofit, we rely on dues and donations to fund our club and make these outings possible. You can make a donation here. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Acadia Birding Festival for making this trip possible! We hope to do it again!

Shorebirding in Wells - August 26, 2023

by Laurie Pocher

MYBC welcomed a special guest walk leader, Dan Gardoqui, who took us through a couple of hotspots in Wells - Drakes Island and Harbor Road - in search of migrating shorebirds. We were not disappointed!

The morning was cool and foggy and threatened to be quiet… but a Bonaparte’s Gull and a Gray Seal welcomed us to Drakes Island shortly after we arrived. We walked a short distance to the beach near the jetty, where we saw several hundred sandpipers and plovers feeding along the water’s edge. Most were Semipalmated Plovers and Semipalmated Sandpipers, with a handful of Sanderlings and Least Sandpipers, a pair of Piping Plovers, and a single Greater Yellowlegs.

Other species on Drakes Island included a dozen Double-Crested Cormorants, a few Feral Pigeons and European starlings, American Goldfinch, Northern Mockingbird, Great Blue Heron and a Belted Kingfisher (15 species in total).

We relocated to the marshes along Harbor Road, where yesterday’s rain and the high tide had created the perfect habitat for lots of shorebirds. A couple of MYBC members added lifers with Black-Bellied Plovers and Stilt Sandpipers. Foraging nearby were a small group of Short-Billed Dowitchers, Semipalmated Plovers, Least Sandpipers, Lesser Yellowlegs, Green-Winged Teal, a Belted Kingfisher, a Ruby-Throated Hummingbird, and a Great Egret.

The large mixed flock continued foraging, completely unfazed by an adult Bald Eagle perched nearby, although they did scatter momentarily when a Merlin flew through and landed in a tree on the side of road. A large mixed flock of Great and Snowy Egrets were gathering further out in the marsh, and Tree and Barn Swallows were feasting on an abundance of insects.

On the northern side of Harbor Road, we saw a flock of Canada Geese, more Egrets, a single Herring Gull, and a few Lesser Yellowlegs. We also saw (or heard) a Carolina Wren, a Gray Catbird, a Northern Cardinal, Song Sparrows, a Yellow Warbler, and a few American Crows.

We headed down to the harbor, where we saw a couple of Spotted Sandpipers, a ton of Double-Crested Cormorants, as well as Herring, Ring-Billed, and Great Black-Backed Gulls, and a single Harbor Seal. An adult Red-Tailed Hawk cruised over the marsh, but the egrets and gulls didn’t take flight until an immature Bald Eagle headed in their direction. We watched as an Osprey repeatedly dive-bombed the Eagle, eventually driving him to land on the marsh.

All in all, Harbor Road and the Harbor netted us 35 species, bringing our total to 42for the day. You can view our trip report here: https://ebird.org/tripreport/153573

Keep your eye out for our September trip announcement coming soon! Happy Birding!

Stratton Island Trip Report - July 15, 2023

by Laurie Pocher

The Maine Young Birders cruised over to Stratton Island on Saturday. We spent the morning with the Audubon team that lives on the island throughout the breeding season to monitor the tern and heron colonies on Stratton, Little Stratton, and Bluff Islands. It was a humid overcast day, but happily the rain held off.

We started birding before we even left the dock in Scarborough, where we saw a couple dozen Rock Pigeons and European Starlings, a few Herring, Ring-Billed and Great Black-Backed Gulls, a couple of Double-Crested Cormorants, and a very cooperative Common Murre swimming among the fishing boats close to the shore (note: there was quite a bit of discussion on various listservs about whether this was a Thick-Billed or a Common Murre). En route to the island, we saw a small flock of Glossy Ibis, a few Great Egrets, and a single Common Loon. Gray and Harbor Seals popped up out of the water to welcome us to Stratton Island.

We split up into smaller groups and explored different parts of the island. While terns were our constant companions, we also saw a lot of other bird life. Glossy Ibis, Great Egrets and Snowy Egrets roost in big colonies around an interior pond, which is also home to Mallards, American Black Ducks, and Canada Geese. We also saw a few Gadwall, Red-Breasted Mergansers, a Green-Winged Teal and a Red-Necked Phalarope on the pond.

The eastern side of the island is home to lots of Common Tern nests… watching your step is critical as there are eggs and chicks everywhere! Get too close to a nest, and the adults will swoop in and dive-bomb intruders, sometimes making contact with our heads. Roseate and Arctic Terns also nest among the Common Terns on the east side, and we took turns visiting a small observation tower for close encounters with some chicks.

Other species on the eastern side included a small flock of Short-Billed Dowitchers, more Common Eiders, a few Black Guillemots, a couple of Spotted Sandpipers, Semipalmated Sandpipers, a Least Sandpiper, and a pair of American Oystercatchers. In the cove, large pods of Harbor and Gray Seals started moving out to open water as though someone had rung the dinner bell.

We spent some time in the visitors’ blind with views of nesting terns, watching adult terns bring in fish to feed their chicks, and ended the morning on the beach watching the small colony of Least Terns. It’s been a rough breeding season, with a lot of chicks lost to exposure and predation. The Least Terns were particularly hard hit, but we did manage to spot one LETE chick hiding out in the grass.

Other species we saw (or heard) on Stratton Island brought our total species count to 36 for the day, including Ruby-Throated Hummingbird, Long-Tailed Duck, Yellow Warbler, Common Yellowthroat, Gray Catbird, Common Grackle, and Great Blue Heron. Click here to view our complete eBird checklist.

We’d like to extend a special thank you to Ben and the whole team on Stratton Island — Kay, Peyton, Silas and Coco — for being such great hosts, and for taking such good care of us and the birds! Click here to learn more about shorebird conservation efforts at Stratton Island.

Laudholm Farm Spring Birding

by Marion Sprague

Despite the forecasted rain, 4 intrepid young birders joined our outing on Saturday, June 17th. We arrived at Laudholm to overcast skies. We managed to stay dry(ish) until around 9:30 when the rain started in earnest, but we saw 32 species in the 2 hours we were out! We finally called it quits at 10:00AM as the rain began to soak through most of our rain jackets and was beginning to pool in our shoes.

While waiting to collect our team of birders, we were greeted by a very vocal Northern Mockingbird flying between the light posts and a tree nearby. This was followed by some ruckus from a group of American Robins in response to a Red-tailed Hawk. The hawk landed on a light post near the parking lot and hung out there for 10 minutes giving us great looks and photo ops.

To make the most of the tide schedule and drier weather, we headed straight for Laudholm Beach using the Barrier Beach Trail to look for Piping Plovers and Least Terns. We were not disappointed. Where the trial splits between Barrier Beach and the Cart Path we saw not 1 but 2 New England Cottontail Rabbits! We also heard the songs of several Eastern Towhees reminding us to “drink our teeeea”, the bright “tea-kettle, tea-kettle-tea-kettle” call of a Carolina Wren, and the distinctive laugh of a Pileated Woodpecker. As we reached the road leading to the beach we saw an Eastern Phoebe ferrying for insects, a Great Blue Heron fishing, and 2 Willets in the marsh.

While we all enjoyed spotting several Piping Plovers running along the shoreline, the highlight of our trip was baby Piping Plovers!!! It is hard not to love those little fluff balls. We also got to see two of them seeking shelter form the rain under one of their parents. While we saw no immature Least Terns, we did see a few sitting on what appeared to be nests in the protected area along beolow the dunes. At this point the drizzle had begun to transition to a steady rain.

We made our way to the Laird-Norton Trail hoping to find some cover under the canopy of trees. As the rain intensified the bird activity lulled, but we did pick up a Wild Turkey just poking its head up to peak at us above the grass. We made our way to the Saw-whet trail, before finally deciding to call it a day. A huge thank you Ben Tucker for bringing us all eclairs from Beach Pea Baking Co!

All in all, it was a surprisingly productive trip with a total of 32 species despite how inclement the weather was! Our full checklist can be seen here:

https://ebird.org/me/checklist/S142933944

We are heading to Stratton Island on July 15 (rain date July 16th). Details and registration for the trip will be coming this week. As with last year this trip is limited to 10 young birders due boat capacity restrictions.

2023 Birding Challenge - Team MYBC!

by Laurie Pocher

Mother Nature conspired against us, and we had to abandon our plans to bird Monhegan Island due to rain, wind and fog in the forecast. We pivoted to Evergreen Cemetery in Portland instead.

The morning started out slowly, with a handful of Mallard ducklings and just a few species of songbirds around the Duck Pond: Yellow-Rumped Warbler, American Redstart, Chestnut-Sided Warbler, Tennesee Warbler, Common Yellowthroat, Northern Parula, Baltimore Oriole, and Red-Eyed Vireo.

We walked the big loop trail along the power line cut and through the woods, where we picked up Eastern Wood-Pewee, White-Breasted Nuthatch, Brown Creeper, Swamp Sparrow, Black-and-White Warbler, Black-Throated Green Warbler, Yellow Warbler, Magnolia Warber, Canada Warbler, Wood Thrush, and a pair of Scarlet Tanagers. A couple of Ovenbirds and Red-Bellied Woodpeckers called from deeper in the woods, but we weren’t able to see them.

We emerged from the wooded trail and found a handful of Eastern Bluebirds, a couple of Northern Mockingbirds, a Chipping Sparrow, and seven Red Crossbills feasting on pine cones.

Other species included Mourning Dove, Herring Gull, Turkey Vulture, Northern Flicker, Eastern Phoebe, Great Crested Flycatcher, Gray Catbird, Blue Jay, Black-Capped Chickadee, Tufted Titmouse, American Goldfinch, Chipping Sparrow, Red-Winged Blackbird, Brown-Headed Cowbird, and Northern Cardinal. In total, we saw 45 species at Evergreen Cemetery. You can see the full checklist from Evergreen here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S138512961

Team MYBC members made a few other stops within the 24-hour Birding Challenge timeframe. At Hinckley Park, we picked up a Black-billed Cuckoo, Swainson’s Thrush, Savannah Sparrow, Black-throated Blue Warbler. At Capisic Pond, we added Chimney Swifts, Double-Crested Cormorants, Black-crowned Night-Heron, Warbling Vireo, Brown Thrasher, Cedar Waxwing, Orchard Oriole, Cooper’s Hawk, and Northern Waterthrush. Other birds seen in backyards and while traveling included Rock Pigeon, Ruby-Throated Hummingbird, Red-Tailed Hawk, Broad-Winged Hawk, Hairy Woodpecker, Pileated Woodpecker, Tree Swallow, Barn Swallow, and Carolina Wren. At Fore-River Sanctuary, Luke Marston helped us round out our team count by adding American Black Duck, Great Egret, Snowy Egret, Belted Kingfisher, and Prairie Warbler.

All tolled, we managed to log 78 species for the Team MYBC Birding Challenge total!

There’s still time to donate to York County Audubon Birding Challenge! We’ll be collecting donations through May 31, so click here to sponsor Team MYBC!

Early Migrants in Portland

by Laurie Pocher

MYBC set out in search of early migrants at three Portland area ‘hot spots’ on April 29. Our expectations were low, as migration doesn’t really kick into gear for another couple of weeks. But Mother Nature cooperated with sunny skies and warm temps, and we managed to see some cool stuff. And — spoiler alert — we managed to see 31 species of birds.

We started at Hinckley Park, where an Osprey flew over our heads in the parking lot as we arrived. We saw a couple of pairs of courting Brown-Headed Cowbirds while a pair of Black-Capped Chickadees were working to clean out a cavity in a nearby Birch tree. Tufted Titmice were everywhere, a couple of Yellow-Rumped Warblers flitted around after insects, and we heard at least one Red Crossbill fly by. Other species that we saw or heard at Hinckley included Mallards, Great Blue Heron, Cooper’s Hawk, Blue-Headed Vireo, American Crow, Black-Capped Chickadee, American Robin, Chipping Sparrow, Song Sparrow, Palm Warbler and Northern Cardinal (17 species in total).

We then moved on to Capisic Pond, where the highlight was a pair of Black-Crowned Night Herons. They started out well-hidden in the reeds but were spooked into the trees by a passing canoe. One relocated to a nice quiet fishing spot off the beaten path, and we were treated to some nice photo opps. There were lots of Common Grackles, Red-Winged Blackbirds, and American Goldfinches. Other species included American Crow, Ruby-Crowned Kinglet, American Robin, Northern Cardinal, Mallard, Double-Crested Cormorant, Mourning Dove, Song Sparrow, Turkey Vulture, Hairy Woodpecker, Osprey and Common Raven (16 species in total).

Our last stop was Evergreen Cemetery, where we walked around the Duck Ponds and through some wooded trails. It was late morning by the time we arrived, and pretty quiet. In addition to a lot of the same species we’d seen earlier in the day, we picked up a few new ones: Herring Gulls, a Northern Flicker, Chipping Sparrows, White-Throated Sparrows, a White-Breasted Nuthatch and a Pine Warbler. (19 species in total).

Woodcock Walk & Pizza Party - March 2023

by Laurie Pocher

Mother Nature threw everything she had at us last night — rain, wind, snow, sleet — but the Maine Young Birders are hardy souls, and we were determined to see the ‘sky dance’ of the American Woodcock (aka Timberdoodle).

Emmons Preserve is a pretty reliable spot to see their aerial displays at dusk this time of year, but we were worried that the weather would keep them grounded. Other than a dozen American Robins digging for worms, the only birds around when we first arrived were a handful of Song Sparrows, Black-Capped Chickadees, and Red-Winged Blackbirds.

We usually spend a couple of hours walking the trails before dusk, but given the weather conditions, we were happy that we’d planned a pizza party and game night. A few brave souls wandered out after dinner and came back to report that they’d seen a Brown Creeper, a Northern Cardinal, a Fox Sparrow and a Woodcock.

On with the coats, gloves and hats, and out we all went into the elements. We followed the Fox Sparrow along a wooded trail, but the weather was keeping it and most other birds pretty quiet. Aside from the call of some Canada Geese flying overhead, the only other sound was sleet bouncing off our coats.

As darkness started to fall, we returned to the Trust HQ and huddled under the deck, debating whether the Woodcocks would make an appearance. At least a few of us had pretty much given up hope when we heard the unmistakable ‘peent’ call from a nearby creek. Then another Woodcock called back.

We slowly moved in that direction, straining to see the really well-camouflaged birds in the dark. They both kept calling, and we could just barely make out one small shape waddling in the grass on the opposite bank.

Suddenly he took off and flew directly at us, and then started climbing in a wide spiral. As he climbed higher, the circles got smaller. He wasn’t calling anymore, all we could hear was the ‘twittering’ sound of his wings as he climbed.

Knowing he would land very close to where he took off, we moved closer to the landing zone while he was climbing, and waited for his descent. When he landed, we were able to get some good looks at him as he resumed his ‘peent’ calls.

We watched him for a while, hoping for another aerial display, but he seemed pretty content on the ground. It was pretty dark by then, so we walked down to the Labyrinth for a bit, before heading back inside to dry off, warm up and work on a jigsaw puzzle.

We may not have seen a lot of birds, and we didn’t take many photos (the cover photo is from a few years ago) but we were pretty happy with what we did see. We were delighted to welcome a new MYBC member, Isaiah. And we’re very grateful to the Kennebunk Conservation Trust for allowing us to use the Trust HQ for our pizza party and game night.

In April, we’ll be heading out to look for warblers and other returning spring migrants. Stay tuned for our trip announcement coming soon. Until then… happy birding!

2022 Biddeford/Kennebunkport MYBC CBC

by Marion Sprague

MYBC ushered out 2022 by taking part in the Annual Christmas Bird Count for the Biddeford/Kennebunk CBC. MYBC covered the Old Orchard Beach part of section 1 with 3 young birders and 3 adult birders. The weather was balmy and warm throughout the day and made strolling along the beach and neighborhoods quite pleasant. A far cry from the bitter rain the team faced last year!

We met at the Old Orchard Beach Pier where we picked up Sharp-shinned Hawk. We got quick looks at it zoomed past, but enough to pick to see the long tail, small stature, and buffy chest to confirm our id. We then proceeded to bird along the beach. We picked up several species including Common Loon, Long-tailed Ducks, and Black scoters and 2 Horned Grebes. We were hoping to pick up a flock of Sanderlings this year, as we have in the past, but had no such luck. Though, we did get a flock of over 20 Canada Geese (a species we usually see, but missed in the prior year’s count).

We then moved to the Ocean Park Memorial Bandstand and walked the neighborhood picking up our first Black-capped Chickadees and White-breasted Nuthatches. Our journey next brought us to the marsh at Goosefare Brook where we picked up several American Crows, Dark-eyed Juncos, Northern Cardinals, and an active flock of Eastern Bluebirds. We also got our first Red-breasted Mergansers. The highlights of the trip were a diving Belted Kingfisher that entertained us as we arrived, followed by a Red-Tailed Hawk perched in the sun across the marsh.  

Our final stop as a group before disbanding for the day was Guild Park. Here we picked up Red-breasted Nutchatch and our only woodpecker of the day, a Downy Woodpecker in the swamp at the head of the trail.

In total we counted 30 different species—2 up from the previous year. MYBC had a lot of fun and can’t wait to participate next year!

The official results for the overall Biddeford/Kennebunkport CBC are still being tallied.

Hope to see you at our next outing!
