[Maine-birds] Help with identifying a bird that sings at night

Lately I've been hearing a bird at night that I never heard before. Sometimes this song will go on what seems like 10 minutes of the time Sith a short pause then start back up. Link to recording:

[Maine-birds] Yellow-throated Vireo - Rockport, 6/7

While conducting a point count this morning a Yellow-throated Vireo found me at the end of Fisk Lane, just past the roundabout, in Rockport. It sang viciously near me for around 5 minutes before flying away to the NW and not vocalizing until over an hour later, 150m+ away. It has continued to sing intermittently over the past 30 minutes from around the same area (maybe along the power line cut just to the NW). Definitely a bird worth investigating as they are very uncommon outside of their limited breeding range in Maine and this might be a bird on territory. Find that breeding evidence!

Good birding,
Fyn

[Maine-birds] Monhegan, 6.5-6.6.19

What a difference a week makes! I've been out on Monhegan for a couple of days, and it's been much quieter bird-wise. The EURASIAN COLLARED-DOVE is still hanging around, however, often calling quite loudly.

Other highlights include, in no particular order:

-continuing Brown Thrasher near Hill Studio

-Pine Siskin at feeders

-Virginia Rail and Sora still calling from the Meadow

-Indigo Bunting 1-2

-Black-billed Cuckoo

-7 sp of warbler, including Blackpoll

-singing Ruby-crowned and Golden-crowned Kinglets right next to each other

Donna Cundy reported a SUMMER TANAGER being seen on Fish Beach through Tuesday morning.

[Maine-birds] Space available on Matinicus Rock boat trip

Hi everyone:

Thanks to the moderator for allowing me to post this trip plug. :)

Tomorrow, Maine Audubon is running its annual "Seabirds of Matinicus Rock" trip out of New Harbor. This is a great opportunity to get on the water for early pelagics but especially to see amazing numbers of Atlantic Puffins, Razorbills, and Common Murres, along with great comparisons of Common, Arctic, and Roseate terns! You never know what small alcid might return to these islands for the fourth year, or what this morning's storm could have sent into the Gulf of Maine - join us tomorrow and see!

For more information and to register, visit: https://maineaudubon.coursestorm.com/course/seabirds-of-matinicus-rock-2019
