This took quite a while to make! Here's a map of bird species reported on eBird at the town level as of March 2023. Scarborough is the winner with Monhegan a close second.

Someone didn't report a pacific golden plover while I was half a mile away for a wedding. Devastating news

@baxterstatepark your reservation system is down and no one is answering the phone

[Kaj Overturf @KajOverturf]

The Baxter State Park reservation system is a disaster

@Brandon1352454 @GovJanetMills Things have very much changed since 2013.

[Kaj Overturf @KajOverturf]

It would appear, barring any late surprises, that this will be the first years since Ebird was introduced that Maine does not get any new state species. Inevitable really

Very sad to report the Newport McDonald's has removed the soda fountain on the customer side

Rough day on the water for the abf pelagic

[vo @vanillaopinions]

this is objectively true

[Kaj Overturf @KajOverturf]

If anything, I think Maine would do better going even further. Almost no one needs daylight at 4am

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

Eliminating Daylight Savings Time is a terrible idea. I ran the numbers, and it would cost the average American 40 minutes of waking daylight per year in the summer.

[The Birdist @TheBirdist]

absolute glass in the Gulf for the @MaineAudubon pelagic today. Paradise. More later!

Remember when the same exact thing happened like 10 years ago?

[Kaj Overturf @KajOverturf]

I remember reading an article about the Celtics back in 2017 during the Isiah Thomas years, about how watching them was bittersweet knowing this wasn't the version that would win the title. This version is that one and only Horford and Brown remain

Anyone know why a monitor would become permanently stuck at 680p after trying to set it up as a dual monitor?

[Kaj Overturf @KajOverturf]

Currently reading the master plan for the University of Maine, which was meant as a vision to guide the next 20-25 years. It's a bit astounding to me that almost 20 years on and effectively nothing in this plan has been done. I get it's incredibly ambitious but geez

[The Birdist @TheBirdist]

The eBird checklists from the day before vs. the day I show up

[The Birdist @TheBirdist]

It’s been 5 years since Maine’s vagrant Great Black Hawk died. Today it’s memorialized with a statue in Deering Oaks Park, as far as I know the only such memorial for a wayward bird.

MIA 19 - 56 BAL
Final

That's Scorigami!! It's the 1084th unique final score in NFL history.

We got the HEPATIC TANAGER in Stockton Springs, ME! Bird is being surprisingly cooperative and the neighbors are welcoming (despite parking right in front of us 😂)
