Comments: Walking to a meeting in town I heard a familiar two note very loud call coming from Brown Thrasher ( Taxostoma crissale) whom I have not heard for a while. Great photos sitting high in a tree behind The First National Bank. The last one I saw was this January when we found one in Salsbury Cove. That bird was not nearly as happy as the Bar Harbor bird today.. Singing his heart out I estimate 25- to 30 different calls, one sounded like a Greater Antillean Nightjar, then a kind-of Robin... I left him calling after 10 minutes...
