[Maine-birds] Monhegan Island Highlights from Thursday

Hello Maine Birders:

The number of migrants on Monhegan Island today was underwhelming but there was plenty of fun to be had and decent diversity. 

Northern Gannets plunging near shore and Merlins racing all over the island were the behavioral highlights. 

Notable species encountered included: a juvenile Yellow-crowned Night-Heron (photo here: https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S59706097), a White-eyed Vireo found by Steve Schenk (sp?) -- thank you, a Lark Sparrow, a Dickcissel and a Philadelphia Vireo. 

Warbler species of note included: Bay-breasted, Blackpoll, Wilson's, Blackburnian, Cape May and Prairie.

Good birding,

Eric
