Comments: Nico and I did a walk-about in Bar Harbor starting at the shore path to the end. Carolina Wren was my first surprise with its rich call note, in the bins and another male begins to "tea-kettle-tea-kettle-tea". I also came across a large flock of 65 White-winged Crossbill in the tall spruce at the end of the Shore path near the hospital.

Comments: Nico and I continued our walk towards Bill Townsend's house to say hello and see if he had any good birds at his feeder. As we walked through Glen Mary we found the local Red-bellied Woodpecker that has been frequenting Bills place. It did show up at the feeder as we talked briefly. These are the birds we had as we walked around BH.
