3 years ago I took a trip out to Matinicus Isle to count birds with @Bird_Wells and Rob O'Connell. I took some notes but never published them. Here's my reflection on one winter birding adventure that I'll never forget. https://t.co/8aUWxUbpX2

Five dudes, a cabin in the woods, and a birding mission, what more do you need? New #ecoornis post about #winterbirding in rural #Maine last week for the Maine Bird Atlas

As 2019 slowly fades in the back of our minds like a beer and champagne inspired hangover, a whole new decade of #birds and #nature stretches out before us. See what the Eco Ornis team is hoping to to achieve this year and decade #NewYearsResolutions

I got a stick to summon owls with for Christmas! I then wrote a review of it in a gently humorous tone for @EcoOrnis

Sunday's #CBC with the BRI (https://t.co/rpMYuqMuQL) crew in Greater @CityPortland,ME, was a great success! We avoided rain and snow while not avoiding record numbers of tree swallows and TWO shrikes (forgive the pic). #Surveys #science #ornithology

[EcoOrnis @EcoOrnis]

@MarkNenadov Not yet I'm afraid! We are still getting things up and running, albeit very slowly!

[Doug Hitchcox @dhitchcox]

The Levant, ME Harris’s Sparrow is the most 2019 rarity experience I’ve had and I wrote about it on @EcoOrnis: https://t.co/4peNxxrazZ

Another week, another Maine Bird Rarity Round-Up at https://t.co/aDWQK0PHFW! The rest of New England are pulling their weight with rare European geese and a Lapwing. Surely they didn't pass through Maine on their way south...?

Found this colorful cockatoo/parrot at the children's museum in #Portland #Maine. Any ideas?

[EcoOrnis @EcoOrnis]

It was a chilly 16 F (-9 C) @MaineAudubon's morning bird walk @ Gilsland Farm but an intrepid group recorded 36 species including 80+ Goldeneye and all three flavors of mergansers among masses of #ducks. Rarest bird = late Chipping Sparrow!
