According to the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, the low-lying grassy habitat is home to two species of “special concern,” the prairie warbler and eastern towhee.

He opens one and shows DeGroote a prairie warbler, an almost fully brilliant yellow bird flecked in black.

The prairie warbler prefers grasslands and shrubs, and in migration, “they like scrubby habitat,” he says.

A possible explanation of this phenomenon seems to lie in the much greater abundance of the Prairie Warbler in comparison to that of the Bell Vireo.

Scrubby second growths, hillsides with scattered cedars and barberries, and, sometimes, bushy places in the pines are the haunts of the miscalled Prairie Warbler.
