I've got an atypical, far out of range bird sighting from central Maine. Yesterday a couple of cave swallows appeared at my house. These guys are a couple thousand miles outside of their normal territory - though they are known for random appearances in the Northeast. Usually in October and November, after following a weather front up.

When I was stopping by the Fish Ladder in town to check out the Alewife run (as one does....) 2 loons popped up not 15 feet away. They were hunting the area at the top of the ladder...
Absolutely stunning birds!
No pictures because in this case - experience over photos!

There was a school of alewives waiting to go up the ladder - first I've seen that!
