Sightings all over the state are high. A Warbling Vireo was on Norway Drive in Bar Harbor. A Skua species was reported yesterday from the Whalewatcher out of Bar Harbor . A breeding bird survey was done from Deblois to Addison. The birds have started their migration and so have many of our reporters.
Many people are on vacation.
We rely on bird sightings from all over the state. This island, off Scarborough, is a major nesting colony for little blue, great blue, tricolored and green herons, egrets, the state's only nesting American Oyster Catchers, roseate, common and Artic terns, wood and black ducks and herring gulls. The trip is on Saturday 27 from 9-1. This trip usually fills as soon as our field trip listing comes out. We had to reschedule it because of the hurricane and lost half the group.
