Re: [Maine-birds] BELL'S VIREO, Bailey Island, Harpswell, 10/22

Well, this bird is definitely acting like a Bell's Vireo, but it is still present as of 11:50. We heard its distinctive scolding chatter (which put us onto the bird in the first place) from behind house #47 across the street. Unfortunately all we pished in were two cats - it's worse than Monhegan here!! - likely the object of the vireo's ire.

On the right, you'll see a small parking lot with little white signs with people's names on them. The bird was in the thicket behind these signs, along with a Blue-headed Vireo and a mess of Yellow-rumps.
