[Maine-birds] House wren & Saw-whet owl in Augusta

HI folks,

 

I had an interesting experience at my home on Eight Rod Road in Augusta.

 

I arrived home late Monday night and was greeted by a house wren singing about 10 feet from me (~9:20 pm).  I went out on the back deck and started calling saw-whet owls. After about five minutes, I stopped and a couple of minutes later one started vocalizing from about 200 ft. away, giving an odd 5-noted rendition over and over.  There were two other saw-whets giving regular vocalizations calling from farther away.

 

On Sunday morning when I left to go Downeast, the first bird I was greeted with when I stepped out the door was a yellow-rumped warbler singing away.

 

Great time of year.

 

Happy birding.
