Eastern Wood-pewee (2-3)
Least Flycatcher
Great Crested Flycatcher
Red-eyed Vireo
Swainson's Trush
Wood Thrush
Northern Parula
Yellow Warbler
Chestnut-sided Warbler
Magnolia Warbler
Black-throated Green Warbler
Blackburnian Warbler (brilliant male, briefly accommodating)
BAY-BREASTED WARBLER (three very accommodating and singing)
Blackpoll Warbler
Black-and-white Warbler
American Redstart
Ovenbird
Common Yellowthroat
CANADA WARBLER (2+ singing and very accommodating)
Another highlight for me was watching a Broad-winged Hawk fly up from the side of the woods along the highway carrying a very long snake.
Last night we strolled the trails through the woods at Kents Hill School during Evan's soccer practice and had
Yellow-bellied Flycatcher
Wood Thrush (4)
Yellow Warbler
Chestnut-sided Warbler
Black-throated Blue Warbler
Yellow-rumped Warbler
Black-throated Green Warbler
Pine Warbler
Blackburnian Warbler

Purple Finch
Tonight, nighthawks over the house again, here in Gardiner.
