[Maine-birds] Schoodic Peninsula saturday 10-13

Entire peninsula very birdy today. Many robins, yellow-rumped warblers, and pine siskins. Pockets of kinglets (both species), thrushes, and from the Point, gannets.
A yellow-billed cuckoo was seen along the edge of the parking lot at the Point. Yellow-bellied sapsuckers and flickers continue to be seen.  A surprise mockingbird at Birch Harbor. One red-throated loon and fine sightings of fly-by common loons as well as all species of scoter. A great cormorant was seen throughout the day at the mouth of Arey Cove (Little Moose side on the rocky tip).

Earlier in the week a cardinal was banded along the Alder Trail (first substantiated cardinal on the tip of the peninsula that I am aware of in the last two years).
