[Maine-birds] MACHIAS SEAL ISLAND REPORT

It's been a fair but chilly day with a mid-afternoon high of 7 degrees. Fortunately the wind was very light.
Birds were active but no great numbers.

SAVANNAH SPARROWS easily dominate, followed by WHITE THROATED SPARROWS.
Other sparrows were mostly in ones and twos: VESPER, CHIPPING, SONG & SWAMP & JUNCO.

Only one FLICKER was seen today but there were at least 4 YELLOW RUMPED WARBLERS.
Other that the Butter Butts, the only warblers were 2 PALM WARBLERS.

The only raptor was a single EAGLE, by its appearance, it would seem to be one of our regular visitors.

The two local RAVENS continue along with the single CROW.
There are hints that it could be a FISH CROW but it simply will not speak in my presence.

The bird of the day is a single WILLET, the first this season.
