It’s been a week of errors. On Monday night, I drove to Brunswick for a presentation to the Merrymeeting Chapter of Maine Audubon. The projector failed. I’m presenting a program on how to identify birds faster and easier for the Penobscot Valley Chapter of Maine Audubon at Fields Pond Audubon Center at 7 p.m., March 1. I promptly posted the wrong web address. The largest wintering flock of harlequin ducks on the East Coast gathers annually at the south end of Isle au Haut. For years, the Isle au Haut ferry made a special trip to see them. COVID-19 put a temporary end to the event, but we decided to resurrect it this year. I was concerned that we might not get enough people. The first trip filled as soon as reservations became available. We scheduled a second trip. That filled immediately. We added a third. That sold out. That was my week. How was yours? ~ Bob Duchesne
