to Maine birds

I had a wonderful blue-sky day yesterday wandering Monhegan village by myself. Birds were plentiful, especially flickers, nuthatches, and sapsuckers were everywhere. At the Ice Pond I watched what I believe was a Solitary Sandpiper, foraging along the shore. At the same spot was a Brown Thrasher, Catbird, Brown Creeper (on a birch), waxwings, and a zillion yellow-rumps.

In the center of town was a flock of Rusty Blackbirds giving good looks and demonstrating their "song".

Always a good place to have a look around! The season is still going on out there.
