[Maine-birds] Re: (Maine Birds) PIGR Mating displays and quiet Whisper Song" on Mount Desert Island

Hello all,
 
I had a few errands to run this afternoon which took me across the Village Green in Bar Harbor.  I realized there were Pine Grosbeaks in the trees but than I noticed two break away and land at the other end of the Green where the male was perched above the female giving a long and quiet "whisper song" which I had not heard before.  It was a wonderful mixture of notes. Some photos taken .
 
I know for Norman it is another Pine Grosbeak story but we have not had them in such numbers for many years so it is a treat to see them lumbering around Bar Harbor. 
 
Michael
