Re: [Maine-birds] Southern birds

Which of the following species have more or less "always" been in Maine from Colonial days (say 1700s) to now? For extra credit, any which were not in Maine in the 1700s, where were they in the 1700s?

Glossy Ibis
Double-crested Cormorant
Mourning Dove
Evening Grosbeak
Brown-headed Cowbird

Bird populations have never been static.   Enjoy the diversity.

Keep your eyes peeled for California Condors.  😉

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.
