[Maine-birds] Berwick birds: white-crown, shrike, meadowlark

Late yesterday (3/27), a white-crowned sparrow turned up under a feeder in our Berwick yard. It's the first time I've seen one here outside of May and October. It's back today.

Song sparrow returned here March 16, with the last sighting in October. This is the first winter since 2011-12 that song sparrows didn't hang around our yard.

This morning I made some stops along Ridlon Road and was rewarded with northern shrike, eastern meadowlark, a pair of kestrels, two kingfishers, and a few ducks including a pair of ring-necked. I flushed what I thought was a snow bunting while driving, but couldn't relocate it.

A little surprised at no killdeer, no phoebe.
