Деталі спостереження
Alan, Pam and myself watched three Brant in the scope foraging with CAGO in the upper salt marsh today. They apparently showed up or were finally seen yesterday. These black headed Branta have been an "On MDI" nemesis bird for sometime now. I have always had them flying. 25 inches in length, the Brant is at the smallest end of the Canada Goose, with whom they were spending time this afternoon and then later in the day when I returned. The all black head and neck with a swash of white on the neck make this a pale-bellied race Branta bernicla hrota? These are the first Brant for Ed and Debbie Hawkes as well, who have lived at this location for a few decades. I only have a few records for MDI and all fly overs. Vickery (2020) sites Palmer who indicted that Brant move across the Gulf of Maine to the bay of Fundy during spring migration and mostly Bypass Maine , This is not the case and during recent years have been consistently found with records around the state. I suspect the era of binoculars has increased the ability for more people to see this species. They seem pretty content at the moment.
