We were only on the island til 12:30 today, so not much opportunity for birding, but my husband thinks he may have spotted the Eurasian Collared-Dove this morning. He only caught a glimpse, but noted its large size and a fanned tail with wide white tips. Not sure when the bird was last noted out there, but if it's still there, I'll be back in two weeks and will probably have another chance to look for it.
We did find at least three (maybe more) RUSTY BLACKBIRDS hanging out with a larger flock of starlings at the edge of the Meadow.
From the boat on the way back to Port Clyde we watched dozens of Northern Gannets, adult and sub-adult, fishing between Monhegan and Allen/Burnt Islands. That never gets old.
