After reading Lucas Berrigan’s report from Bon Portage, I decided to make the effort to compile similar data from Brier Island. It took a couple of hours, but I managed to tweak out banding data for the past four days (Aug. 27-30). Migration has been slow and steady, as one would expect with the benign weather conditions. August 27 (27 birds). 8 Black-throated Green Warbler 2 Magnolia Warbler 6 Golden-crowned Kinglet 1 American Redstart 1 Wilson’s Warbler 1 Swainson’s Thrush 3 Northern Waterthrush 5 Red-eyed Vireo August 28 (68 birds). 6 Red-breasted Nuthatch 1 Cape May Warbler 3 Black-and-white Warbler 4 Yellow Warbler 1 Myrtle Warbler 2 Common Yellowthroat 1 Bay-breasted Warbler 2 Common Yellowthroat 2 American Goldfinch 2 Alder Flycatcher 1 Philadelphia Vireo 10 Red-eyed Vireo 6 Northern Waterthrush 2 Ovenbird 4 Magnolia Warbler 5 American Redstart 4 Golden-crowned Kinglet 5 Black-throated Green Warbler 1 Chestnut-sided Warbler 3 Purple Finch 2 White-throated Sparrow 1 Yellow-breasted Chat (hatch-year, female). August 29 (53 birds). 6 Alder Flycatcher 3 Common Yellowthroat 1 Mourning Warbler 1 Least Flycatcher 1 Black-throated Blue Warbler 2 Yellow Warbler 1 Red-breasted Nuthatch 1 Blackburnian Warbler 1 Yellow-bellied Flycatcher 1 Boreal Chickadee 1 Philadelphia Vireo 4 Black-throated Green Warbler 4 Golden-crowned Kinglet 3 Magnolia Warbler 1 American Redstart 1 Wilson’s Warbler 2 Northern Parula 1 Purple Finch 1 Baltimore Oriole 1 Swainson’s Thrush 7 Northern Waterthrush 2 Ovenbird 7 Red-eyed Vireo August 30 (69 birds). 2 Bay-breasted Warbler 6 Red-breasted Nuthatch 3 Least Flycatcher 2 Blackburnian Warbler 3 Canada Warbler 7 Common Yellowthroat 2 Blackpoll Warbler 4 Black-and-white Warbler 1 Palm Warbler 1 Myrtle Warbler 1 Philadelphia Vireo 1 Alder Flycatcher 2 Wilson’s Warbler 1 Chestnut-sided Warbler 15 Black-throated Green Warbler 3 Magnolia Warbler 1 Brown Creeper 1 Northern Parula 1 Golden-crowned Kinglet 1 American Redstart 1 Baltimore Oriole 1 White-throated Sparrow 1 Yellow-breasted Chat (hatch-year, female). 7 Red-breasted Nuthatch 3 Northern Waterthrush I missed a couple things, which is why the totals don’t add up for today. Also seen today but not banded were a male Prairie Warbler and a male Blue-winged Warbler. Maybe tomorrow! Last evening about 7 PM a nice little troupe of hatch-year swallows went through Westport, heading south and west down the island. I estimated 50+ Tree Swallows and 15+ Barn Swallows. Too hot to go shore-birding today. My thanks to Lance Laviolette, for permission to post the results of our work.
