[Maine-birds] Monhegan update, 9/28

Lots of birds moved in last night, bringing a greater warbler diversity, relatively speaking, more sparrows, and more siskins and sapsuckers. Even in the rain this afternoon birds were chipping away in little waves and merlins zipped overhead.

Highlights:

Another good look at the Sora in the Meadow
Canada warbler-1
Parula-1
Black-and-white warbler-1
Yellow warbler-1
Palm warbler-5
Blackpoll-2
Magnolia warbler-3
BT blue warbler-2
Marsh wren-1
Swamp sparrow-4
Clay-colored sparrow-2
Dickcissel-3
Bobolink-1 (in Doug Hitchcox's yard; thanks, Doug!)
Empid sp.-2
Eagle on Nigh Duck guard duty
Three ravens cavorting in the early morning wind
Still an incessant chorus of RB nuthatches
Red crossbill-7

My last full day and perhaps my last post of the trip depending on how tomorrow goes. It's been fun!
