[Maine-birds] deficit of birds

Here in Phillips, on a ridge farm and forest, for two years there has been a deficit of White-throats. We used to hear them sing, trying out their new voices in the early morning. Not the past two years, and no songs anywhere.

White-crowneds, always less than the White-throats,have been completely absent.

Hermit Thrush: 60% to 70% less singing in the evenings here.
