[Maine-birds] Sandy Point: Nelson's Sparrow and Dickcissel

Not many warblers (only one each Maggie, Parula, Blackpoll, Yellow; 2
Yellowthroats, and 10-20 Yellow-rumped) this morning at Sandy Point,
Cousin's Island, Yarmouth. A migrant Nelson's Sparrow in a shrub down
the path to the beach was a surprise. Somewhat less surprising was
another (or continuing?) Dickcissel. This is at least my fourth for
this location this month. I know that Derek has had several more - it
certainly seems to be a great year for them! Lincoln's Sparrow was nice
to see - my first for this location (but I've seen over 20 at Old Town
House Park over the last few weeks).
