Re: [Maine-birds] essex woods/bog

That particular spot is just great Veery habitat.   Alders flanked by taller conifers in a secluded (largely inaccessible by people) swampy bog with tons of mosquitos, Veeries seem to love it and I think there are a few breeding pairs there.    Snowshoe Hare frequent the same area (where I saw a Gray Fox recently) as well as Rusty Blackbirds making spring migration stopovers, as we saw earlier this year.

these Veerys were singing in the alder bog area so a little more wooded, but were quite vocal at noontime which struck me as odd.

I've been hearing a lot of singing from veery thrushes lately. We've always been told that they are denizens of the woods, but I see and hear more of them in more open areas, often near water. They've been noisy lately. Does anyone have an explanation?
