Tonight around 5:30 I found a white eyed vireo along the eastern prom
trail, right across from the waste water treatment facility. Unfortunately
after being flushed I was unable to relocate the bird, it flew into another
tangle along the trail and then I believe I saw that same bird exit and
head down the hill towards the train tracks and the water. I know Louis
Bevier reported a white eyed vireo on Bailey Island on the 17th, could this
be the same bird?

Hi all,
Shorebirds stole the show today in and around Biddeford Pool. The continuing family group of 4 AMERICAN OYSTERCATCHERS continue in the area, today being seen rounding East Point and roosting off of Ocean Ave. I also flushed 3 Wilson's Snipe from a couple of areas.
But the aggregation of shorebirds along the jetties at the mouth of the Saco River, as viewed from Hill's Beach was impressive for the season:
1 continuing HUDSONIAN GODWIT (appears to have a minor leg injury)
6 lingering RED KNOTS
3 PURPLE SANDPIPERS (first of fall)
101 Dunlin
89 Black-bellied Plovers
53 Sanderlings
33 Ruddy Turnstones

Hi all -- Took a walk on the Blagden Preserve off the Indian Point Road on
MDI, with friend Jim Perkins. Highlights included a single male
Black-throated Blue Warbler (perfect plumage) in the forested southern
section of the Big Woods Trail, one Long-tailed Duck in the bay, and an
estimated 150 Horned Grebes in pairs, small groups and one very large
distant raft.
En route to this preserve there was a small flotilla of Ring-necked Ducks
in the northern end of Somes Pond (off Oak Hill Road).
Best,
Craig K
as a p.s., I changed my eBird report of yesterday's Trenton Great Corm to a
D-c, preferring to err on the conservative side. Forgot to mention a Winter
Wren at Seawall Campground as well.

We had excellent looks at two Orange-crowned Warblers at the terminus of
the Blueberry Trail where it joins with the Schoodic Head trail. Along the
Blueberry Trail we saw many flocks of Pine Siskins and a hunting
Sharp-shinned Hawk that flew low along the trail under the alder canopy.
Lots of kinglets (both Golden-crowned and Ruby-crowned), Hermit Thrushes
and still many Yellow-rumped Warblers.
We also saw two White-crowned Sparrows - one at Frazier Point and another
at the Blueberry Trail trailhead.
Today along highways, local roads and even the road into our house we saw
hundreds and hundreds of sparrows (White-throated, Song and juncos....).

The bird, reported earlier today by John Berry and Merrymeeting Audubon, was seen well by Margaret, Ken, Turk, Bob, Joe and me between 2 and 3 PM this afternoon. Feeding on small rose hips along the main road north, ca 1.1 mile hike from the parking lot (Kelp Shed) to the site of an old orchard/vegetable garden.
The campground is closed for the season, but you're welcome to park and walk around.

Barbara and I saw 2 Orange-crowned Warblers foraging together in White Spruces at the east end of Seawall Beach at Cherry Tree Head, the large granite dome along the Morse River. They lingered together for 3 - 4 minutes.
2 Am Pipits, everything else to be expected.
Best,
Peter
