[Maine-birds] Merryspring Nature Center, Camden, 5.14.16

I led a bird walk for Merryspring Nature Center this beautiful morning. Nothing wildly exciting, but good numbers of birds around, and it felt like many of the warblers that have been posted from southern Maine lately have finally made their way here. 

We had 12 warbler species total, including FOY Northern Waterthrush (2), Black-throated Blue, Magnolia, Am. Redstart, and Common Yellowthroat. 

Also of interest:

Blue-headed Vireo

House Wren - pair using a nest box. We were highly entertained watching one of the pair try to fit a very long twig into the nest hole. 

Least Flycatcher - 1-2, FOY

Great-crested Flycatcher - 1 heard, FOY

Bald Eagle flyover

Back home, heard FOY Yellow Warbler singing in the yard. 

This is the weather we've been waiting for after making it through another Maine winter. Get outside today if you can!
