Here's what I observed on the island today:
-Winter Wren at White Head
-flock of 8-10 very active Palm Warblers
-Gannets continuing to fly and dive right offshore
-continuing Prairie and Nashville Warblers
-several Baltimore Orioles
-DICKCISSEL flyover
-my first White Admiral (butterfly) of my stay
-a zillion Painted Ladies and 3+ American Ladies (butterflies). I can't emphasize enough how amazing the butterfly flight is out here this year. Also, more Monarch chrysalises forming at the Trailing Yew every day.
Here's what I didn't see while I was off gallivanting with non-birder friends:
-EASTERN MEADOWLARK (Jeremiah Trimble)
-BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER (Bruce Barker)
-YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO (Sue Shaw)
-American Redstart
Sounds like at least one each of CLAY-COLORED, WHITE-CROWNED, and LARK SPARROWS continue, as well.
What will tomorrow bring? Every day on Monhegan is a good day.
