[Maine-birds] Bowdoinham palm warblers

April 29, a quick walk around the farm yielded 22 species, nothing spectacular
but 6 quite quiet palm warblers, like Jeff Wells, that let me get close to them. They were
working a fence line at the edge of a pasture, down low.

Singing winter wren since April 17, nesting bluebirds, the return of a male
cardinal, for us something unusual.

Others included
tree swallows (also nesting)
mallard (nesting nearby)
downy woodpecker
hairy woodpecker
song, white-throated, chipping sparrows
goldfinch
purple finch
junco
phoebe
robin
red-winged blackbird
crow
white-breasted nuthatch
(first red-breasted in almost six months seen April 28)
bluejay
mourning dove
black-capped chickadee
