Notes:

* Based on comparison of photographs, the Maine bird was thought to be the same one seen at Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, 26 Jun-2 Aug 2006, this bird itself thought perhaps to be the same as one at Stephenville Crossing, Newfoundland, Jun-Sep 2005 (NAB 60[4]:500). In 2006, the bird was first photographed at Rye, New Hampshire, 9 Aug 2006 before being found in Maine by L. Brinker on 18 Aug. The bird spent much of its time in marshes on the New Hampshire side until 20 Sep (Mirick 2006).
