Hi all,
I enjoyed five wonderful days (even when it was cold and raw, it's Monhegan, so it was still wonderful) on the island from Saturday through Tuesday. I had a tour group Friday-Sunday, a private tour followed by some birding with friends on Monday, and then Jeannette and I enjoyed a relaxing Tuesday. These are the birds of note for each of my five days out there, with a total of 96 species , but only 17 species of warblers.

2 Atlantic Puffins (Monhegan Boat from Port Clyde, FOY)
3 continuing CATTLE EGRETS
1 Philadelphia Vireo (FOY)
1 Sora that didn't stop calling all weekend.

1 female SUMMER TANAGER (FOY)
