Re: [Maine-birds] Mockingbird and Barn Swallow fledged - Benton - Unity Rd
The earth's average temperature has been slowly rising since the 1800's. You can't rule out global warming because of a few of decades.

Mockingbirds have been in central Maine for decades. We used to get more of them on the Waterville Xmas count in the past than we do now. There were 2 along the River Road in Benton for several weeks in April and May, right near where Wyman Road intersects. They nest in at least one of the cemeteries in Skowhegan, and have for years. And I have a suspicion that they're nesting along the river in downtown Waterville. I had one in Aroostook County 40 years ago, along with one in New Brunswick during the same time period.
So, no, it has nothing to do with "global warming."
