--=======AVGMAIL-44E60DCD032F======= Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="=====================_32603078==.ALT"; x-avg-checked=avg-ok-3CD73A7 --=====================_32603078==.ALT Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed; x-avg-checked=avg-ok-3CD73A7 The following was posted today (Aug. 18) on the Maine Rare Bird Alert: - RBA * Maine * Southcoastal * August 18, 2006 (Special Edition) - Species Mentioned: ***WESTERN REEF-HERON*** At 6:30 this morning, an adult dark-morph ***WESTERN REEF-HERON*** was discovered in Kittery. (Possibly THE bird from Nova Scotia???) . It was observed first on Gooseberry Island, east-southeast of the Kittery Point Town Landing. It then flew to nearby Fishing (also known as Fisherman?s) Island, about 1/3 mile south of the pier at the Town Landing. The bird was viewed from the piers, as well as a local charter boat, through about 9:30am. It then disappeared into taller grass on the island. As of 10:45, the bird had not been relocated, despite closer approach by a kayaking birder, and a non-birder who was walking around on the small island. Since the SNOWY and GREAT EGRETS that were also there similarly had vacated the island, it is likely that the Reef-Heron also left to feed as the tide receded. The next high tide is today (Friday) at 7:50pm. ---------- I presume this is the Cape Breton bird heading south.
