First of all, thank you to all the birders who provided some great information on spring migration trends/timing for Maine. It's tough seeing all my friends south of us getting on with spring, with lilacs in full bloom and warbler fallouts, while we're just starting. The main thing is that I just don't want to miss anything for lack of knowledge!
Among other common birds, we saw some great FOY birds this morning (late start) at Mast Landing: Pileated Woodpecker, Northern Parula and Black-throated Green Warblers (they were very vocal!), several Brown Creepers, and a startled Ruffed Grouse who may have been preparing to drum on a nice big fallen log had we not scared him into flight by coming around a corner of the trail. Oops.

The one downer about spring migration: you have to get soooo early!
