Hi folks,
I was working in Cuter Thurs through Monday in grasslands all weekend and staying in Machiasport. Here are some of the high lights.
1 Bay-breasted warbler in Machiasport
1 Yellow warbler in Cutler
10+ Palm warblers
50 + yellow-rumps with 80% on Sunday morning; There were a large number of arrivals that night
Savannah sparrows - I was picking up about 10 per day on Thursday and Friday with very little long activity. There was a major influx on Saturday night/Sun morning with much song activity scattered through about 1000 acres. Monday was full of song activity as territories were being established.
Swamp sparrows There was a large flight Sat PM/Sun AM where they were in most emergent and scrub-shrub wetlands singing profusely.
1 Brown thrasher
Harrier courtship behavior and vocalizations.
1 Pipit
1 Horned lark
6 Kestrels
10 Osprey
1 Rusty blackbird
1 Blue-winged teal
! Barn swallow
