Mount Desert Island Birds: Savannah Sparrow
Sand Beach to Otter Cove 2012 , Hancock, US-ME
Sep 23, 2012 8:40 AM - 10:40 AM
Protocol: Traveling
2.0 mile(s)
Comments: The Cruise Ship Veendam today had an older crowd and a little slower pace. Many of the Warblers seen yesterday have departed the shoreline trees with hardly a Yellow-rumped to be found. Nothing exciting but a beautiful sunny morning, 68F and a Southwest wind still blowing. Savannah Sparrow
