[Maine-birds] Highlights from MDI from the past week

I have had a busy week and am only now getting caught up  on my bird reports. Although it is a bit late, I wanted to share some good birds from Mount Desert Island last weekend:

 

-          Gadwall. 1 was at MDI High School water treatment ponds 15 September.

-          Lesser Yellowlegs. 2 were at Babson Creek Preserve, Somesville, and Thompson Island, at the head Mount Desert Island, on 15 September.

-          Common Tern. 2 were still present at Thompson Island on 15 September.

-          Philadelphia Vireo. 1 was at MDI High School water treatment ponds 15 September.

-          Yellow-breasted Chat. 1 was working the alders along the shoreline near Jordan Pond House in Acadia National Park.

-          Vesper Sparrow. 1 was at Thompson Island on 15 September.
