Re: [Maine-birds] Southern birds

Cardinals were pretty rare except maybe southern Maine when I was a kid 40 ish years ago, I remember how exciting it was seeing them in St. Louis when we visited family.  Titmice were not here.  Mockingbirds still scarce in the mid coast but I do remember seeing them in Orono in the late 90s as they seemed to come up that river corridor.  The flip side of this is I used to see Boreal chickadees at Great Wass late 80/90's and have not as an adult.

I don't remember how rare it was, but I got both Cardinal and Mockingbird in New Brunswick (near Perth-Andover) 40 years ago, as well as a Mockingbird in Aroostook County.

I'm just saying it was a little freaky this morning on Kittridge Road in
Bangor. As I stood next to the old landfill, prior to entering Bangor City
Forest, I heard simultaneously northern cardinal, tufted titmouse,
red-bellied woodpecker, and Carolina wren. It sounded more like Maryland
than Maine. Ouch.
