[Maine-birds] Singing Lincoln's sparrow in yard & common nighthawk in Sidney

Hi folks,

I had my first singing Lincoln's sparrow in my yard Monday evening...great sound!  Later that evening I had an ovenbird giving it's jumbled flight song over the yard.

Sunday evening I heard a FOY nighthawk vocalize over the hayfields along Church Road in Sidney....a welcome sound. 

I heard or saw the following birds between 7:00 PM and 8:00 PM at four stops along Church Road.  Song activity was very slow until about 6:40 so the total bird count was low.  Most species were along hedge rows and adjacent woods.
