[Maine-birds] MACHIAS SEAL ISLAND REPORT

There seems to be a significant migratory movement underway this night.
I'm seeing notable dropout since about 02:00 AST.
Flight composition here appears to be weighted heavily towards COMMON YELLOWTHROATS & WHITE THROATED SPARROWS.

Sunday and Monday produced lots of FLICKERS & PINE SISKINS, harassed by almost constant HARRIER activity.
MERLINS & PEREGRINES were also frequently seen.
Monday's strong wind (25-30 knots) made for interesting aerobatics by prey and predator, alike, including several raptors hovering, nearly motionless, at eye level and less than 10 metres away.
