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

OK, one last update. We departed for lunch at 12:15 sans photos, unfortunately. I'll post a full written description to my blog tomorrow.

An increasing southerly wind was not helping us, but after getting landowner permission to check a yard, we found the aforementioned thicket to be much more extensive than we would have liked. I can't help but think a cold, sunny morning would be more conducive to finding this bird.

Good luck. Also, we had a YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT at Land's End, and a total of 5 species of warblers on Bailey Island this am: Hundreds of Yellow-rumps, and one each of Black-throated Blue, Black-and-white, Common Yellowthroat, and Blackpoll.

> 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.

>> I'll post more details later, but Jeannette and I found a BELL'S VIREO on Abner Point Road in Bailey's Island at about 10:40 am today. We have not seen it in 30 minutes, but believe it to be around. There are a lot of Yellow-rumped Warblers to sort through in these thickets.

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.
