[Maine-birds] Re: Katahdin Woods and Waters area

Nice.  I was there a week ago this past tuesday and had a lot of what you mentioned except some of the mammals.  Did had fresh bear scat and moose scat around but no bear or moose until I left the park when I had a moose just east of the park.  Of course that's probably because I was only there a day.  Love that place.  So much better than Baxter in my opinion:-)

I was able to spend the last few days birding and atlasing the Katahdin Woods and Waters area. It was the first time that I had been there and it was amazing.

I had 87 bird species in and around the monument over 3 days, tons of warblers, woodpeckers, flycatchers, and thrushes. On top of the birds I had 2 Black Bears, a Moose, a Coyote (chasing a fawn), numerous White-tailed Deer & Snowshoe Hares, a Red Fox, Beavers, a vole, and tons of Red Squirrels and chipmunks. There were numerous insects, large flights of Chalk-faced Corporals, Common Whitetails, and Ebony Jewelwings, plus many more odonata which I still need to id. Not to mention butterflies, moths, and tiger beetles.

My highlight birds were both seen at the Black Spruce Bog on the Loop Rd. One evening I watched a Common Nighthawk booming and then the next morning I was treated to a Cape May Warbler.

I'm still adding non-bird pictures, bird sounds, maps, and more narrative but here is my full eBird trip report.

Be well
