A wonderful trip to Monhegan Island (9/14 - 9/18) turned up many highlights and a chance to catch up with birding friends. Despite the lack of any strong systems, comfortable weather produced 95 species, including 15 warblers and 4 vireos. Highlights included:
Black-crowned Night-Heron - 1 Ice Pond 9/15
White-winged Scoter - 4 Lobster Cove 9/16
Greater Yellowlegs - 1 Ice Pond 9/14, 9/17
Solitary Sandpiper - 2 Ice Pond 9/14-9/16

We seemed to just miss Dickcissel and Blue Grosbeak on several occasions, and notable warbler misses included Nashville and Black-throated Blue. I'm continuing my work on "The Birds of Monhegan" book and appreciate any past or present sightings. Thanks.
