My wife Amber doesn't believe that moose exist, so to prove that she was wrong, I convinced her to wake up at 1:30am yesterday morning and drive to Rangeley with me. She stands corrected, and we got some great birding in, too. We drove as far as Umbagog NWR(I had never been, but highly suggest the walk. Tons of birds, moose, and snowshoe hare, great trail system), and birded back towards Rangeley. Beautiful morning!
Mammals
5 moose
4 snowshoe hare(cuteness ruined by the amount of ticks engorged on their head and ears)
4 red fox(a vixen and three kits, right at the corner of Rt 4 and 16)
2 white-tailed deer
red squirrels galore
Bird highlights
16 species of warbler(Nashville, Parula, Chestnut-sided, Magnolia, BT Blue, Yellow-rumped, BT Green, Blackburnian, Pine, Palm, Blackpoll, Black-and-white, Redstart, Ovenbird, No Waterthrush, and Yellowthroat)
3 Lincoln's Sparrow(all singing in close proximity, I'd never heard this song before)
Gray Jay
Boreal Chickadee
dipped on Spruce Grouse and Black-backed Woodpecker, still too early for Yellow-bellied and Olive-sided Flycatcher
