There have already been a number of unusual sightings on Monhegan this spring, including a first island record of Black-necked Stilt over the past couple days (Monhegan species #241), reported to eBird by Laura Desmond and Luke Seitz. So it is time to remind birders about the WhatsApp Monhegan Birds sightings alert. To be added to the group, make sure you have WhatsApp downloaded on your phone and email me your phone number to
brett.ewald90ATgmail.com. It's a great way to share what you're seeing while on the island or keep up to date with what you're missing if you not there. :)
I will be posting the next sightings update to The Birds of Monhegan book, including the recent highlights, in the near future to The Birds of Monhegan Facebook page. Check it out.
