Magnolia warbler, Monhegan.
Up early, birded Monhegan until late morning, got my stuff together, took the Elizabeth Ann back inshore. The water was as smooth as new blacktop, the sun bright, a youthful eagle flapping to a perch on a tall spruce on an island.
Got my dog, put stuff away, took a hike up Beech Hill.
(I’ll compile my Monhegan list soon.)
