May 13 - Bradley Pond   Report Pending           .

May 14-Green Point Farm WMA  Merrymeeting Audubon had a bird walk this A.M. with 19 folks at this birdy spot. The gorgeous weather did not, however, produce much of a fall-out of migrants. It was quiet.   Highlights: Orchard Oriole (male) at 7:30 atop the high trees in the "Ditch". Unfortunately not seen by all. 10 warblers, including territorial Chestnut-Sided. Also 1 Nashville 1 Northern Waterthrush Several each of Yellow and Myrtles. As many as 4 Bald Eagles 1 Harrier 1 Sharpie 2 Broadies. Other local nesters included No. Rough-winged Swallow Warbling Vireo Several Baltimore Orioles One of the local squadron of young-of-the-year Red Foxes was seen pouncing on a small rodent (?). The rest of his cohort have dispersed.

May 17-Morse Mountain Despite a rainy early morning, eleven birders did the walk. No rain fell during the walk but it remained cloudy and cool. Fifty species were observed or heard with great looks at Bald Eagles - at least two mature and two immature, perhaps one more of each, and several warblers, Swamp Sparrows, and Black-bellied Plovers.   The list is as follows: Common Loon Double-crested Cormorant Great Blue Heron Snowy Egret Canada Goose American Black Duck Mallard Black Scoters Osprey Bald Eagle Wild Turkey Black-bellied Plover Ruddy Turnstone Dunlin Herring Gull Great Black-backed Gull Black Guillemot Hairy Woodpecker Eastern Phoebe Blue-headed Vireo Red-eyed Vireo Blue Jay A merican Crow Tree Swallow Barn Swallow Black-capped Chickadee Red-breasted Nuthatch Golden-crowned Kinglet Hermit Thrush American Robin Grey Catbird Brown Thrasher Nashville Warbler Yellow Warbler Magnolia Warbler Yellow-rumped Warbler Black-throated Green Warbler Blackburnian Warbler Black-and-white Warbler Ovenbird Common Yellowthroat Chipping Sparrow Song Sparrow White-throated Sparrow Dark-eyed Junco Common Grackle Red-winged Blackbird Purple Finch American Goldfinch
