Re: [Maine-birds] White-eyed Vireo, Sears I. 9/28

This is always a good bird even in Cuba.... a known wintering location for
this species. Here in Northern Maine this bird is rarely encountered. On
Mount Desert Island it would be considered a rare bird. Blue-headed are
moving through the region as well. Look forward to your pics.

With so many migrants aloft last night, I thought that I would try the Sears
Island area this morning. There were gobs of birds moving off the north end
by the gate (and gobs more in the huge area of shrubs and trees lining the
road to the south). There was little wind, only a gentle north breeze that
turned northeast and then calmed. I focused mainly on birds that perched.
The morning flight here differed in some respects from that reported at
Sandy Point this morning in that apart from Yellow-rumped Warblers
predominating there were lots and lots of Black-throated Blues, Parulas, and
many, many vireos.

The highlight was a WHITE-EYED VIREO, which is probably a very good Waldo
Co. bird and good on the mainland this far north.
