Re: [Maine-birds] Saco

I was so excited that while I was out at the Heath yesterday, while looking for a BT Green , I spotted a sweet little Black Throated Blue in bushes right in front of me! Such a treat!

Subject: [Maine-birds] FOY Tanager and Swamp Sparrow

We had our first scarlet tanager right out the window this morning, fairly low as things go.

Also, a few days ago, we found a swamp sparrow skulking in and around a rivulet just down our road.
