[Maine-birds] Davidson preserve

Hi,
Does anyone know if the Fen at Davidson is still an active Heron rookery? I had not been there in a few years and today sighted only 4 distant nests which did not appear occupied, I could not remember when in spring I had been there though. Many of the multiple branched snags birds had nests on have fallen.

There are plenty of ovenbirds. 2 had elaborate distraction displays as I was walking the path. Previously I' ve seen many fledges in the same spot.

Tally for the loop -

Catbird
Song sparrow
Ovenbird
Tufted titmouse
Hairy woodpecker
Blue headed vireo
Red- eyed vireo
Bc chickadee
Yellow warbler
common Yellowthroat
Am. Redstart
Parula
Black throated green
RW blackbird
Osprey

Numerous odes though quieter than usual as it was cool.
FOY Viceroy

Surprisingly No ticks.
