[Maine-birds] Monhegan, 5.29.16

A cooler, less birdy day after the past few days of bird abundance here on the island, but interesting birds continue, including:

Great Cormorant - Paul and others saw at least 2 on the cliff side of the island
Sora - at least one still wails away in the Meadow
Am. Woodcock - Paul and I heard 1 displaying over the Meadow last night
Black-billed Cuckoo - Mik Oyler and I thought we saw one this morning, then Mik reported one this evening in the same vicinity. 
Brown Thrasher - got great looks at one of the assumed resident pairs in the Meadow with the Birds on Tap bird walk this morning. Not unusual but always a dramatic bird. 
Orange-crowned Warbler - Mik and I are fairly certain we heard 1 singing (repeatedly) this morning on Wharf Hill but we couldn't get a visual
Mourning Warbler - Paul found one by the pump house, later seen by others that unfortunately did not include me. 
White-crowned Sparrow - I heard a report of 1 in the community garden in the Meadow this morning
Crossbills - from reports it sounds like both Red and White-winged continue (not that they'd be expected to move along like many of the migrants apparently did)

Rain expected tomorrow and we leave at 12:30, so expectations are low from here on out, but no complaints about this wonderful weekend!
