[Maine-birds] Aerialists over Suckfish Brook,etc. (FOYs)

Suckfish Brook Trails are off Mast Rd. to the right if headed east, just beyond Highland Lake public boat access road which is on the left. Look for Upland Way. A small parking area at the end of the drive puts you in front of a beaver pond that because of a breach in the beaver dam has lost much area. Visited the place today for the first time since last August.

I was treated to a small flurry of activity on stepping out of the car. Many ruby-crowned, chickadees, yellow-rumped, brown creepers, downies, an eastern phoebe, and then one black-throated green warbler(foy).

Standing by the water surveying the scene, an aerial display of northern rough-winged, one tree swallow, and eventually a barn swallow turned up. One yellow-rumped added to it by hawking for insects from snags at the edge.
