Re: [Maine-birds] Prairie Warbler x 3

Hi Bob,
 
Your asking an interesting question that went around a few weeks ago.... How far north in Maine do we find Prairie Warblers?? ... MDI has sporadic birds here through the summer and presumed nesting but only a small number are ever reported and I have not yet heard of any located on MDI so far this spring.  Go East toward Stueben and we have found them and East along the coastal mainland and probably? up the Penobscot to the Orono Bog that you have reported.  The problem for a census is getting into most bogs without a boardwalk!    What about the great Heath near Cherryfield??   Another interesting bird with little known about the detail  here in the North.
 
Do you find Prairie Warbler in Washington County?? 
 
Thanks for asking the question again. Looking forward to
 
Michael

OK. So just how many Prairie Warblers are in the Orono Bog Boardwalk? While guiding  11 Texas birders today, we watched two foraging silently in the woods just before the boardwalk breaks into the open. Meanwhile, I could hear the usual suspect singing from his usual spot on the far side of the boardwalk.

 

Also, a Willow Flycatcher is (finally) appearing on the highway side of Essex Woods.
