NORTHERN SHRIKE Good numbers all around us. Had a first year bird yesterday at the warf in Rockland. It will be very soon when one of us comes up with one on our peninsula!
__________
If anyone spots very late swallows in the next 3 or 4 days check them closely. The weather paterns have been conducive in the previous days for the Cave Swallow, a western vagrant that will show up one of these days along the coast of Maine. Southern New England had good numbers yesterday. It's always a challange to separate this species from the Cliff Swallow but not all that hard.

Until a couple days ago: exceptionally large numbers of Hooded Mergansers (150-200) on the Bagaduce in front of our house; a few Common Mergansers, as well as Black Ducks, Bonaparte Gulls, and a Herring Gull. At the feeders: White and Red-breasted Nutthatch [the latter is still a treat for me, because we rarely saw one in Indiana]; Blue Jays, Chickadees, Goldfinch, Hairy Woodpecker. A handful of Juncos here yesterday.
Chip: I wish you'd take a photo of your bear cub. Sounds like a picture worth sharing!

Have had a pair of Tufted Titmice since Halloween. Had first flock of 13 Evening Grosbeaks today. Between yesterday and today I had 4 different warblers. One for sure was a Black Throated Green and I am almost certain one was a juv. Wilson's and I am not positive on the other 2- but they sure were pretty flitting about the Holly bushes this cold 18' morning! They had better be on their way south!

Here are some sightings to take the pulse of the fall migration, ie. nothing exciting, but part of the pattern: five greater yellow-legs in Oceanville last Friday, Oct. 31. Two flicker and a dozen or so robins Saturday. Our brown creeper has returned – from point north or just a summer in our woods??
A pileated is working stumps and fallen logs in the yard – so far seen only by its works.
Rebecca -- a Canada Jay in your neck of the woods (or bay) is really interesting!
Nai -- as you may know, birds, including song birds, are eaten in China. There was a time during the Revolution when an attempt was made to eliminate birds because of crop depratation -- eveyone beat on pots and pans all day and night exhaust the birds by keeping them from resting. It worked in the short term, but then they learned that of course the birds had also been eathing insect pests which inflicted even greater losses. Nature bats last!

On a 7:30 a.m. Friday morning walk on Morgan Bay Road in East Blue Hill,a gray and white bird flew just above my head on to a spruce bow. I wondered if it might the Canadian Jay on return to this area. I held my hand up in a "I have something for you gesture,as my neighbor tells me he does. The bird then flew just over my shoulder and landed 2 or so feet from me. After realizing I had not a thing for him or her, it flew off in the opposite direction. I realized that it was the Canadian Jay and it made my day to look so closely at this friendly bird.
