Recall that a singing male Kirtland's Warbler was recorded in Maine in June
2008  -- this at the Nature Conservancy preserve of Kennebunk Plains, an
open heath/grass area with scattered scrub pine clumps -- very much like the
same birds' habitat in Michigan. I think the bird was around for only a
short time after its initial discovery but could have been present for much
longer period before a knowing birder saw it.
