[Maine-birds] Sears Island this morning - bonanza

Hey all --

Left my home extra early today in order to make time for birding en route to work. Hit the n. tip of Sears Island (Searsport) around 6. It was a terrific migrant fallout and a "warbler camp" moment. That feeling of needing 3 pairs of eyes and binoculars. Exhilarating. I never made it past the first hundred yards of the northern tip of the island.

Highlights:

2 Scarlet Tanager (singing male, and female)

4 Rose-breasted Grosbeak (singing male, 3 females)

1 Least Fly

1 Blue-headed Vireo

Warblers:

Wilsons

Canada

Common Yellowthroat
Magnolia
Am. Redstart
Nashville
Blackburnian
Black-and-white
N. Parula
Chestnut-sided
B-t Green

Other notes:

Peregrine in greater Belfast carrying prey (east side of Passagassawaukeag River)

Searsport public boat launch: 2 Laughers, no Little
