Monhegan, 5.23.15

[Kristen Lindquist]

Back on the island for a few more days with my husband Paul. Got in a few good hours of birding this windy afternoon, managed to turn up some interesting birds, including:

13 species of warbler, including No. Waterthrush, Nashville, and Canada

Least Sandpiper - 1 in the Meadow (Jeremiah Trimble et al later saw 4 there, along with a Short-billed Dowitcher). This was a new island bird for me.

Yellow-crowned Night-heron - 1 continues in the Ice Pond, a state bird for Paul

White-crowned Sparrow - 2 at Donna Cundy's feeders

Sora - 1 persists in the Meadow, and by persists I mean, "calls incessantly"

Am. Woodcock - 1 displaying in the ballfield after sunset

Baltimore Oriole and Rose-breasted Grosbeak continue for the color parade, though not in quantities of last weekend. We dipped on the Scarlet Tanager(s) but several were observed today, male and female. 

Good to see so many good birding friends today too!

To add to the color parade today out here on Monhegan, a couple of brilliant Indigo Buntings, couple of Red-bellied Woodpeckers. On the monochromatic side, there are quite a few Blackpoll Warblers.

Ride out was kind of wild but we did enjoy some Harbor Porpose.
