Another late Eastern Wood-Pewee, following the Monhegan bird, was on Bailey Island Saturday. I watched it flycatching actively in tall spruce and poplars a short distance downhill from Rt 24 on Robin Hood Road. This bird had an injured or missing right eye. (Perhaps the fairy tale is more twisted than we were told, and ol' one-eye the Trumpeter Swan came back as a pewee.) Despite its handicap, the bird appeared healthy and captured insects readily, even if having to swivel its head more to find them.
