I am not stating for one moment that an IBWO was seen in Maine.
However, this is a cat-among-the-pigeons post all the same! How many miles is it from Maryland where the bird used to be seen, to Maine?
And how many miles is it from the habitat of the White-crowned Sparrow, right across the Atlantic, to eastern England in Norfolk where thousands of people have thronged to see this amazing little flyer?
Migrant birds can turn up nearly anywhere, including Maine.
The problem is we have NO evidence the IBWO was ever migratory.
