[Maine-birds] Fw: KENTUCKY WARBLER Hinckley Park South Portland

I just wanted to update that I was not able to relocate the KEWA after searching for an hour and a half. More birders arrived and also were unsuccessful as of time of writing (4pm). 

I also wanted to add that I was WAY off on records for Maine for this species. For some reason I misremembered the East Point Biddeford Pool bird as being the 4th state record, but I guess there are at least 60 records including birds caught at banding stations. There are very few mainland records however, but I don't have the exact number. This makes more sense since this bird is not ridiculously wicked fah out of it's range.

Hopefully it is still around and can be detected again so others can see it. Cool bird!

Bird haahd,

Leon Mooney andI just found one around the backside of the main pond (southeast corner across the bridge and up the hill in thickets with Common Yellowthroat. We currently lost sight of it but are trying to relocate. I believe this would be the 5th state record and I did manage some crummy photos.

Bird haahd!
