Spent 3 1/2 hours hiking up Saddleback Mountain in Rangeley on 7/3 in search of Bicknell's Thrush. I started at 5:30 AM and hiked all the way up the Grey Ghost trail and then 2/3 the way up the Tri-color trail towards the peak, before heading back down starting at 8. I counted 17 Swainson's Thrushes, but only had 1 Bicknell's Thrush near the top of Grey Ghost which gave a couple call notes. 7 warbler species were nice, featuring 14 singing Blackpolls. Also had a Philadelphia Vireo singing what sounded like a perfect Red-eyed song - I just can't tell these 2 apart by song.
All in all a very nice hike including great views.
