Monhegan Island in Maine is well known to many NH birders, but it can
sometimes be dull, especially on east winds. But this past week or so it
was pretty darn good on SW winds.
The first bird of note was a Black-backed Three-Toed Woodpecker
photographed on one of the trails. The next day Linda stepped out of our
rental house and photographed an adult male Hooded Warbler, then proceeded
to the Village Garden where she saw a Mourning and a Prothonotary Warbler,
found there by others. The next day a Yellow-throated Warbler was found by
Derrick Lovitch which was seen by many over the next two days. A Western
Kingbird made an appearance and, oddly, was mobbed by a pair of local
Eastern Phoebes on their territory. The next day, a Bell’s Vireo claimed
the headlines for two days. Derrick came through yet again by spotting a
Black-throated Gray Warbler, which was seen by many around the village for
the next two days.
