[Maine-birds] Monhegan update, 9.19.15

Yesterday highlights on the island for me included:

YELLOW-CROWNED NIGHT-HERON - 2 juveniles continued at the Ice Pond in the morning (only 1 by the time I got there at 6:15 a.m., but Bill Thompson saw 2 earlier)
CLAY-COLORED SPARROW - I saw 1 in the harbor cul-de-sac after breakfast, but I heard there were as many as 3 there at one time yesterday
LARK SPARROW - 1 in town, very pretty bright adult bird
DICKCISSEL - 2 in the apple tree across from the Yew, found by Chris Borg; others seen/heard throughout the morning by several others
Warblers - my total species count is still below 10 I'm embarrassed to admit, but those include Prairie (at least 2 individuals); others reported Cape May near the Yew and elsewhere

Didn't hear any reports of the previously reported SUMMER TANAGER yesterday. Others (but not I  yet) saw Philadelphia Vireo (at least 2 individuals, I think). Hope to have more to report today!
