On Sunday, Jeff and I took an excursion to check out a few places not far from our house in Gardiner. The highlight was a gravel pit area near the intersection of Thayer and Palmer roads in Whitefield that looked good for PRAIRIE WARBLERS. From the side of the road, we had at least two, singing and providing superb looks.
Also, EASTERN TOWHEE encouraging us to "sip-your-teeeea" (love that song). Other species included ALDER FLYCATCHER, FIELD SPARROW, BANK SWALLOW, and a BELTED KINGFISHER nesting somewhere in the side of the pit.

Thanks to all who responded to my rfi about Common Terns breeding away from
the coast. These, plus everyone's submissions to eBird, are most helpful.
Areas with significant numbers seem to be Portage and Fish Lakes
(Aroostook), Allagash River, Chamberlain Lake and Allagash Lake (all
Piscataquis) and especially Long Lake (Aroostook).
I'll repeat Jeff Well's comment that he has "always thought that the number
of inland nesting Common Terns is vastly underestimated but also that they
are incredibly ignored as a conservation priority both for surveying and
for protections."
If you have records of more than a few at an inland site, they are still
welcome.
Thanks and g.b.,

About 15 years ago we had them in Mud Cove (Lily Bay ) at Moosehead Lake.
Now we have ring-billed gulls. They may have driven them off. Hope this
helps. Aletha

Passing this on from a friend. I'm not in the area otherwise I would do something. One of the domestic geese living in and around Damariscotta mills/alewives was apparently hit recently. It's is injured somewhere in the area if ANYONE can do ANYTHING. I am very fond of these geese...
