A rare Maine visitor

2 mins read
An out-of-range barnacle goose in Rockland, and a rare bird for Maine. Barnacle geese breed in Greenland, and spend their winters in and around the UK. This bird was found by Don Reimer, and I got to see it on Sunday, Nov. 7 in Rockland, Maine. (Photo by Steve Muise, Farmington, Maine)
Canada goose and barnacle goose, at right, for comparison. Barnacle geese are smaller, have smaller bills, and very striking black and white markings compared to our common Canada geese. (Photo by Steve Muise, Farmington, Maine)

A view of the scene: Venus and the waxing crescent moon, close in the sky over Long Pond, Belgrade Lakes, Maine, while I was capturing the moon in my other camera. (Photo by Steve Muise, Farmington, Maine.)
