[Maine-birds] Eastern Rd., Scarborough: 2 Winter FOY's and others

At Eastern Road this afternoon there was 1 AMERICAN TREE SPARROW in the brush along the side of the road near the edge of the woods, and a single SNOW BUNTING allowed close approach as it sat in the road while I walked back to the parking lot.  

Out on the pannes was a mixed flock of DUNLIN and BLACK-BELLIED PLOVERS (ID'd by another birder who had a scope, which I didn't...no exact count but the total flock was several dozen), along with several Greater Yellowlegs.  An immature NORTHERN HARRIER was hunting along the edge of the woods, and a MERLIN was going after a distant group of shorebirds.
