Notes:
* From regional report by Davis W. Finch (AB 25(5):836): "A Bewick's Wren, the first known to occur in Maine, was discovered by Roger Foxall on July 2 in the Ship Harbor area of Acadia National Park, Mount Desert I. A careful description noted the striking white eye-line, dull brown back, whitish underparts from throat to under tail coverts, and the species' characteristic long-tailed and slim proportions. Surprisingly, the bird was found to be still present in the same area more than a month later, on Aug. 5 (WCT) and Aug. 7 (EVT)." [WCT = William C. Townsend; EVT = Edward V. Thompson]
