[Maine-birds] Re: Mount Desert Island Birds: YR Warblers on the move in Mixed flocks

  Mount Desert Island Birds: Yellow Rumped  and Warblers are on the Move

 

The hotspots are active with warbler activity during this early portion of migration. This weekend we saw the  intensity of Palm and Yellow  Warblers in various watershed around Mount Desert Island began to decline as we crank up towards the mass movement of birds. The diversity of warblers is about to increase greatly with South American winter migrants not far behind the irruption of Yellow-rumped and Palm.   Sunlight and insect activity our the key factors in a particular locations attraction  to Warblers and Flycatchers currently especially bio-rich  micro-habitat like Seal Cove or Jordan Pond.  A really nice big movement of birds  passed by this weekend.  I love the orchestra.
