[Maine-birds] Ducktrap River Preserve, Lincolnville, and Camden yard birds, 5.18.16

Co-led a bird walk this morning with Cloe Chunn for Coastal Mountains Land Trust and Belfast Bay Watershed Coalition (part of their Bird Week) at the Ducktrap River Preserve in Lincolnville. 

Surprisingly not very buggy, so we lingered trying to see birds that were singing and didn't get very far up the trail. 

Highlights included:

Hairy Woodpecker - 3: 2 fem., 1 male in a menage a trois 
Winter Wren - 6
Red-eyed Vireo - 1 FOY
Blue-headed Vireo - 6
Wood Thrush - 1
Hermit Thrush - 4
Veery - 2
1
​1​
sp. of warbler, including 8-10 Blackburnian on the hemlock ridge, 6 Black-throated Blue,
​2 Magnolia


Painted Trillium was a botanical highlight.

Then back home in my tiny backyard in Camden just now, I was surprised to have 9 species of warbler passing through, including Nashville, Magnolia, Am. Redstart, Yellow, and Chestnut-sided, as well as...

Red-eyed Vireo - 1
Scarlet Tanager - 1 

​Enjoy!
