[Maine-birds] Flycatching nuthatches and good birding in South Addison

A flying ant swarm in our area brought the gulls soaring over our house snapping up the ants.  A big surprise for us were at least three Red-breasted Nuthatches joining in - they would sit at the top of a tall spruce tree and then sally up and out to catch the flying ants!

 

At Ingersoll Preserve in South Addison we enjoyed a nice morning hike and encountered 37 species of birds including 2 Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers, an Alder Flycatcher, 5 warbler species (including 2 Northern Parulas), both species of kinglet, 4 species of sparrows including an immature Chipping Sparrow and an immature White-crowned Sparrow.
