[Maine-birds] FW: eBird Report - Monhegan Island, May 17, 2015

I'm not sure I have anything new to add to the list of great birds on Monhegan yesterday but below is the eBird checklist for the LL Bean Discovery School group that I took out to the island for the day. The group was mostly beginning birders who enjoyed every bird from a Yellow Warbler to a Summer Tanager! It was a beautiful day to be out on the island. Thanks to fellow birders, including Sean, Mark, Kristen and others who told us about what they were seeing at various places.
