By Bob Duchesne| Bangor Daily News Verified The curtain rises on the big show in a week, when the first major wave of migrant songbirds returns to Maine. Three warbler species will lead the way: palm, pine, and yellow-rumped. Ruby-crowned kinglets may overwhelm them all, at least vocally. It’s hard to shut ‘em up this time of year. Yellow-bellied sapsuckers will fly in overnight. At dawn, they will begin drumming on the loudest thing they can find. I’ve been amusing myself with the antics of our year-round resident birds while I wait.
By Bob Duchesne| Bangor Daily News Verified This story was originally published in March 2021. I know this may seem crazy, but I can hear what a forest looks like. I see with my ears. There are nearly 300 breeding birds in Maine, and they’re all about to have sex. That means the woods are about to get loud with song, as the birds go about the business of attracting mates and defending territories. These 300 birds do not settle down randomly. Each one has a specific habitat preference.
