: Not documented this century as a breeder but there is a scattering of mid Jun-Aug records including a bird singing in both May 2011 and 2012 at the Babson Creek Preserve. The species nests in the Hancock and Washington County blueberry fields and could here at any time.
: mid Apr-mid May with to early Jun, and mid Sep-late Oct with to late Nov, in weedy areas and places where migrants concentrate.
: early Dec-early Apr, the most being Jan 20, 2020 in Southwest Harbor, with most records from bird feeders.
Miscellany: Field Sparrow, like Eastern Towhee, had a few decades following the 1947 fire when the scorched northern part of MDI had a lot of open field-like habitat preferred by the species. It was however never common, here at the northeastern edge of its breeding range, and reforestation steadily reduced the available habitat.
