[Maine-birds] Spring migrants - Viles Arboretum, Augusta

With the change in the weather I decided to check out the Viles Arboretum, Augusta for the first time this spring, and I was rewarded with a few migrants, as well as local residents. Expected birds were: Tree Swallows, Pine Warbler, Hermit Thrush, Killdeer, Eastern Bluebird, Eastern Phoebes, Northern Flicker, American Kestrel and an unexpected early arrival was a Barn Swallow which I photographed flying over the pond on the Piggery Road.
 
A complete list of the 26 species and some photos can be found at: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S28939112
