[Maine-birds] Sears Island, Searsport 9/19

Caught a few pockets of migrants around the island yesterday morning & early afternoon (some near the beginning of the causeway, but mostly scattered).   Activity seemed to pick up as it got warmer.  10 warbler species:
 
Nashville            3
N. Parula            6
Chestnut-sided   2
Cape May           1
Bl.-thr. Blue        1
Yellow-rumped   8
Bl.-thr. Green     3
Blackpoll            4
C. Yellowthroat  1
 
Flocking with them were B-C Chickadee, Solitary Vireo, R-B Nuthatch & Hairy Woodpeckers.    Had one “Traill’s” Flycatcher along with an incessantly-calling Eastern Wood-Pewee, which I thought was a bit late.  There was also a Black-billed Cuckoo calling, almost within sight of the main road.
