[Maine-birds] Baxter State Park II

Follow-up to last night’s post: my 3-day tour of Baxter State Park and environs added Philadelphia Vireo and Mourning Warbler to the trip list, which totaled over a hundred species. Altogether, the tour scored every Maine swallow except rough-winged, every Maine vireo except yellow-throated, every northern warbler except Cape May and Wilson’s, and every Maine flycatcher expect willow. But, just for ironic amusement, there were seven woodpeckers anticipated for the trip: yellow-bellied sapsucker, downy, hairy, American three-toed, black-backed, northern flicker, and pileated. Which two woodpeckers did we miss?

 

Hairy and downy.
