Re: [Maine-birds] Southern birds

I heard the saw and heard my first Mockingbird in Ocean Park in summer 1968 in a large hemlock tree by the library. It was quite an event for the Florida snowbirds who were there for the summer and myself as well!

First cardinals (early 70's)and titmice (1980 or so) were in the Granite Point area of Biddeford.

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.
