[Maine-birds] Cape Small

Doug Suitor and I birded Cape Small this morning. 

Highlights included:

- 9 sparrows incl: Fox, Field and Ipswich.

- Flock of 38 Rusty Blackbirds fell out of the sky like rain.

- A solo Orange-crowned Warbler, singling out goldenrod seed-heads among a sea of Bayberry/Multiflora Rose

- Multiple Sharpies. Harriers, and BEagles; plus a male Merlin

- 1 Pipit overhead; plus a H Lark-Pipit type

- Oldsquaws, WW Scoter, Black Scoter, RNGrebe, RB Merganser - all increasing in numbers. 

- And one mystery bird we'd both like to have more time with.  A very fidgety, flighty, nervous vireo in thick brush, moving fast.  Most likely candidate - Bell's Vireo.  Need a better look - of the whole bird next time.
