The Jonathan Kingfishers Birdathon team spent the day Saturday May 29 finding as many birds as we could find within the town of Deer Isle as we raised funds for Downeast Audubon. The mix of birds we found in Deer Isle was a bit different from what we have found in past years in towns on the mainland, reflecting the different location and habitat. Among the more notable birds we found were:
Red-throated Loon
All three Scoters that frequent our area (Black, White-winged, Surf)
Ring-necked Duck
Laughing Gull
Barred and No. Saw-whet Owl
Bobolink
Canada Warbler
Northern Waterthrush
Veery
A generous supply of Eastern Bluebird

On May 26th. from 4:00 - 5:10 AM the Downeast Audubon, Bird-A-Thon team -"The Lame Ducks" - counted 7 Whip-poor-wills and 6+ Nighthawks on the Great Pond Mountain Conservation Trust properties located in Orland-Bucksport, Maine. We expect to get these two species in this special place. The big numbers were a real delight and took me back to the kind of numbers I remember 50+ years ago.

The Island Heritage Trust held the annual Wings, Waves & Woods festival over this past weekend. Plenty of excitement was had by all. For me the three most exciting things were hearing a barking red fox & a Yellow-bellied Flycatcher on Saturday at the Settlement Quarry and on Sunday, at Scott's Landing, hearing another Yellow-bellied Flycatcher. I believe that someone "out there" will be seeing and perhaps hearing red fox kits before long at this location. The Fish Chowder supper on Saturday was marvelous and if you like chowder please, as a gastronomic delight, please attend next year's festival!
