neville parkTook the fancy camera down to the lake and was well rewarded with these new-to-me fancy ducks, horsing around in the water and making odd calls. Now, I may just be a beginner birder, but I suspect that these ducks with the long tails are long-tailed ducks (_Clangula hyemalis_). <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/birdeing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birdeing</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/birding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birding</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/ducks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ducks</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/toronto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#toronto</a>

What we consider the 'backyard birds,' like <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/chickadees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chickadees</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/woodpeckers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#woodpeckers</a>, are very unlikely to contract avian influenza, so there is no need to stop feeding those birds or take down bird feeders. You should always keep your feeders clean, but this is a good time to be extra vigilant with regular cleanings and also protect yourself from exposure. Avoid contact with a sick or dead wild bird. If you do have a report of a sick or dead wild bird, call Maine Inland Fisheries and Wildlife at 207-287-8000 or 800-452-4664, or report it online. (More info: mefishwildlife.com)"Think about the things you can do to help birds around your yard, be it during an avian influenza outbreak or not. Keeping your cats indoors is the best thing you can do, then treat your windows to break up reflections and reduce strikes.
