Monhegan Island is a birding experience unlike any other; I look forward to getting through my nearly 1,900 photos and putting together a post. For now, here&#8217;s a photo of arguably of the most numerous songbirds I observed on the island: Red-breasted Nuthatch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/092522-RBNU.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/092522-RBNU-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11966\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/092522-RBNU-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/092522-RBNU-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/092522-RBNU-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/092522-RBNU-1536x1229.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/092522-RBNU-2048x1639.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/092522-RBNU-1200x960.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>~Red-breasted Nuthatch on Monhegan Island, 0\/25\/22.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, I was the official counter at Mount Peter Hawkwatch today. It was raining when I headed out, and when I arrived at the mountain, it was totally fogged in. I did some local birding and enjoyed a flock of 70 or so American Pipits in the black dirt. I went back to Mt. Peter just before noon a it was still socked in. I birded Wickham Lake, and then went back to finally start the watch at 1:30. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The flight wasn&#8217;t substantial, but I was happy to get some good variety, with 8 species of migrating raptors.
