[Maine-birds] Northern Maine: Two yard birds in two days

Hi All,

After a years lull, my yard list has seen some action in the past two days.  Tallied two new species of birds from my driveway.

Yesterday morning a Least Sandpiper passed through my yards airspace.  I heard it calling as it approached and had my binoculars handy and got a good look as it passed directly overhead... heading due north.

This AM I just stepped out the door to hear "Quick Free Beer" call loud and clear.  Olive-sided Flycatcher calling from the big poplar in my front yard.  Numbers 139 and 140 for the list.  

The northern Maine radar was full of birdy action last night...
