[Maine-birds] Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, SW Harbor on MDI

Hi all -- late today we had a call from the neighbor to let us know she'd seen a "bluebird." Might have been an Indigo Bunting, but either way I didn't see it.

I did, however, step outside for a look across the yards and a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher chose that moment to fly in over my head and perch in our poplar. I had a good long view with bins, from ~30 feet. Saw all the diagnostic field marks.

My last Hancock County BGGN was in the spring of 1973, in Stonington. It's been a long wait.
