[Maine-birds] Pacific Loon in Lubec

Hi Maine birders,

A couple days ago I was in Lubec Maine at Sunset Point campground and took pictures of an odd-looking loon. I put up some pictures on eBird from the back of my camera and tried to alert the Maine-birds group about it but it seems my email ended up in my phone's 'Outbox'. Turns out it's a Pacific Loon! It's not 'officially' confirmed yet. I hope it's still there.

Good luck with the hurricane!

[Maine-birds] MACHIAS SEAL ISLAND REPORT

Again tonight, it's evident that the migration river is in full flow. And conditions are favorable for significant fallouts.

As one would expect, with millions of birds moving, a wide range of species are mixed together but most nights will see a few species being more numerous.
Last night, ORIOLES stood out, as well as OVENBIRDS. Some PHALAROPES were seen overhead.
Tonight, no Phalaropes and  Ovenbirds were far less numerous, but REDSTARTS (male & female) have increased their presence.
There were lots of female BLACK THROATED BLUE WARBLERS last night but relatively few males. Tonight the male BT Blue Warblers are very numerous.

Of special note: I haven't seen a single Thrush of any species over these 4 weeks.

Also of note: a lot of HUMMINGBIRDS arrived Monday /Tuesday night and 3, 4, up to 6 were seen squabbling through the day. With that many near the house, it's certain there were a good many more scattered throughout the PURPLE ASTERS which are just a bit short of full bloom.
