[Maine-birds] Taylor Road Bait Ponds, Orono & Essex St. Marsh, Bangor

Early this afternoon Jeff Webb and I found 27 species at Taylor Road bait ponds & the Veazie Railroad trail.   Lots of ducks & a fallout of Ruby-crowned Kinglets (~15), along with FOY Yellow-rumped & Palm Warblers.   A GREATER YELLOWLEGS at the 3rd bait pond is the earliest shorebird (other than Killdeer) that I've seen at this location.

 

Later today at Essex St. Woods I found FOY Blue-winged Teal, also Green-winged.
