[Maine-birds] flicker explosion, Mourning Cloak migration

There has been a mass movement of Northern Flicker this morning.

Over 100 crossed from Frazer Point to Winter Harbor between 6:15 to 6:30 AM.

Throughout the morning along the length of the Schoodic Peninsula many more flickers are being seen.

Mourning Cloak butterflies are also migrating (yes, they do migrate); Richard Hildreth reported

counting over 100 yesterday and as the day warms up, be on the lookout for them.
