[Maine-birds] Re: Townsend's Warbler?

Nevermind - Facebook miscommunication. She claims it was a Blackburnian that she saw, and used some random stock photo....

Hi All,

A friend posted the following photo to Facebook from a party in Maine. Lots of folks claiming Blackburnian, but it looks like a dead-on Townsend's Warbler to me. Maybe a juvenile of some sort with colors not coming yet? Just looking for other's opinions. Thanks!

Re: [Maine-birds] wood thrush question/Gorham

I am glad to hear that there are Wood Thrush in Skowhegan. Outside of two singing migrants on 5/10, I have not detected a single Wood Thrush anywhere in my birding in the Unity area this year. We have watched the local population decline significantly here over the last ten years. Tons of Hermit Thrush and Veery in the appropriate habitats. I read recently Wood Thrush require a moist understory in deciduous or mixed woods with trees over 50' and a healthy mid-story present. May be that the overharvesting of the forests around me are contributing to their decline?

Good birding,

tom a

I have not noticed any change in the Wood Thrush population along my road (near Skowhegan). I have the impression that there are more of them this year than in the past (maybe I stole yours? Sorry! 😁 ). Hermit Thrushes have been about normal. I even discovered a nest in my woods, and the eggs hatched. I'm not sure if the young survived, or not, but they looked pretty chipper the last time I saw them before the nest was empty. Hopefully they escaped any predators.

I'd be happy to trade you a pair of Wood Thrushes for a Carolina Wren.

I know there are changes over time with bird population and movement…we now have bluebirds year-round which were not here in former years, and another more recent neighor is the Carolina wren family…hard to miss with those LOUD vocalizations. :) Wood thrushes just seem to be an odd one to have moved away.

Re: [Maine-birds] wood thrush question/Gorham

In Peter Vickery's "Birds of Maine," we documented that Breeding Bird Surveys in our state show that WOTH declined by 5.6% annually from 1966 to 2017. That is to say that for every 20 Wood Thrushes in 1966, there was but one in 2017 (95% overall decline).

Re: [Maine-birds] Merlin audio

Macaulay Library of Natural Sounds agrees with Steve (as do I) that Audacity for laptop/desktop is the way to go for editing.

To export a recording from Merlin: Open Merlin > tap Sound ID > My Sound Recordings.

Select a recording and tap the Share Button (the square with an upward arrow) to the left of the Play button. Email the recording to yourself and save the file to your computer. Then upload to Audacity for editing.

Important links are:

1. Audio Editing in Audacity for eBird. This includes a very helpful list of settings to use. It can be a bit much without guidance.

2. Audio-preparation-and-upload-guidelines

Note: If your intent from the beginning is to record a sound (rather than using Merlin to ID it for starters), then it may be best to use the free Voice Record Pro app, set to record as .WAV files. You can export the file to your computer via email or AirDrop.

Happy to help should anyone have questions!

[Maine-birds] Sick bird at feeder

Saw what appeared to be a sick purple finch at the feeder tonight. Thin, missing feathers from breast area or very discolored. Also, appeared to be slow to movement.

Any thoughts? Anyone see anything like this?

Was thinking of pulling whole feeder in to decrease chances of sharing any illness.

Thank you!

[Maine-birds] Whippoorwill Loud!

From: 'BARBARA P HERRGESELL' via Maine birds <maine-birds@googlegroups.com>
Date: June 2, 2024 at 1:34:01 PM EDT
Subject: Re: [Maine-birds] Whippoorwill

We have whippoorwills every year in our
back woods. But two nights ago about 9 o'clock there was one so loud it sounded like it was on my front porch. It was astonishing. It must have been very close. When I went out, I mistakenly turned on the light and the whip stopped, of course. Unfortunately, I did not hear it again, but it was memorable!

[Maine-birds] Plovers and Waxwings, Reid State Park, 1 month later.

After a lovely but unbirdy visit on May 1st I was pleased with this afternoons turnout.
2 Piping Plovers were feeding together at Half Mile Beach with a group of 9 sandpipers not far away. There were more gulls and cormorants but still seems to be a fairly low number. At one point 2 terns were working the incoming tide, Never saw more that 2 at one time though.
Eventually there were 3 plovers in view but feeding separately.
Heading back to the parking lot we saw about 10 Cedar Waxwings in the shrubby growth between the paths near the bathhouse. They were spooked by a group walking by so I got a chance to see just how many had been gathered there but then they were gone.
A pleasant afternoon on the beach.
