Wayward bird delivers early holiday gift for Maine birders

MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • December 6, 2020

However, a rare bird has arrived in Maine in the past few weeks, to the delight of birders. A rock wren, a bird typically found in western parts of North America, arrived in Ogunquit on Nov. 27. It’s only the second time the wayward species has been recorded in Maine. Rock wrens typically migrate to the southern United States or Mexico for the winter.
