[Maine-birds] Owls, Peaks Island

Posting a bit late, but while aboard the ferry from Portland out to Peaks island at 3:30 this afternoon I observed a Short-eared Owl flying high above House Island (photos on eBird checklist). An unexpected treat, but given the amount of SEOWs turning up in ME this year  I'm really not entirely surprised.

After birding around Peaks Island for a while the continuing Eastern Screech-owl began singing at 5:37 and sang about every 30 seconds until I left at 6 PM. I also observed a Thick-billed Murre swimming just offshore from Seashore Ave on the island.
