Re: [Maine-birds] Unidentified Night Call

We agree with Dave Cowan's identification of a katydid…our camping experience in August in PA several years ago introduced us to these guys.  When they all get together they are deafening! :)  And yes, they go at it all. night. long.

OK - I'm stumped.

We're at Lake Pemaquid and are being serenaded by this very rhythmic call at the lake edge.


Starts after dark and went on all night long. 

I can't find a frog or bird that matches.

What is this?

Re: [Maine-birds] Unidentified Night Call

Katydid, understandably not familiar since it's an insect that I think has been moving in from more southern climes.

[Maine-birds] Western Tanager update

It was last seen in the mixed pine-oak area on the Saco River side of the tracks, unfortunately we had to leave because my dog was getting overheated.  There is a trail that goes down to the river off to the left where more water frontage can be viewed, but along the trail itself is where I usually see the most birds.   Posting from my phone I neglected to mention that it did have a dark back and two light wing bars (which made me think it was a fall Baltimore Oriole at initial glance, although I quickly realized the proportions were wrong, along with the bill).  Very yellow bird with a contrasting orange-pink bill.

There was also some warbler activity there this morning, although it had subsided when we left. There were at least 20 Yellow-rumped in the trees and at 2 Tennessee along with other un-ID'd warblers in the lower vegetation (focusing more on trying to find the Tanager, so had to ignore some of them).   Ingalls Pond is an interesting habitat because the expansive scrub vegetation there is almost entirely buttonbush, with very few cattails growing anywhere.

[Maine-birds] Western Tanager, Ingalls Pond in Baldwin right now

Jeff Webb and I just had a female Western Tanager about 1/4 mile down the path along the railroad tracks.  Tanager sized, slowly moving bird.  Yellow body, dark gray- blackish wings and a pink thick bill.  It was under the canopy at the top of an oak along the path, then flew into the shade of another oak near the Saco River side where we are trying to relocate it.
