It was getting dark, hence the poor photo quality. From my personal birding photos archive; original image w/ date and timestamp.
Observation details
After some persistence Jeff and I relocated 2 of the BBWD's that had been previously seen at MDI High School ponds; also present that evening to observe them were Michael Good and another birder. Apparently the original number of their vagrant flock was 6 and first seen on Echo Lake in Bar Harbor earlier in the month. On the 28th someone had found a dead individual at the MDI ponds without seeing any live ones. As I recall, none were relocated alive after 5-29.
