It’s always a fun time of year here on the north shore of Pushaw Lake in Hudson. I’m out on the deck, writing Friday’s birding column for the Bangor Daily News. In the trees above: 2 yellow-rumped warblers have been gleaning persistently. They are calling sporadically, unlike the black-and-white warbler that foraged silently up the nearest tree trunk a moment ago. A pine warbler sang exactly one song exactly on hour ago, then shut up again. Out on the lake, the loons have been relatively quiet, except for the occasional hoot notes they so often make this time of year. A noisy osprey has rounded the corner several times, and one of the local eagles has come over to visit a couple of times. Some of the best birding happens when you’re just sitting quietly in one spot.
