This is the bird alert sponsored by Maine Audubon on Tuesday, November 26, 1996.
Many seasonal birds are around as single individuals or in small numbers.
Most of the small ponds skimmed over with ice this week. Those ponds which were ice free had smaller numbers of water fowl than were reported last week. Also, shorebirds which had lingered through last week moved out and were seen in very small numbers along the coast this past week. The address is case sensitive. The date and contact numbers for the Christmas counts in Maine are listed below.
