[Maine-birds] White-throated Sparrow; And hello from Kennebunk!

It was a damp, warm morning trodding through the woods today around Brown Street.  Life birds include: A Herrmit Thrush, a White-throated Sparrow, and several active Belted Kingfishers. 
 
I was searching for an owl all morning (6-10) when around 9 (while I was very deep in the woods, following deer paths) I walked up upon and spooked a very large bird, with heavy wingbeats.  I hustled after it unsuccessfully, when then, I caught sometime out of the corner of my right eye.  Up upon a high branch in a pine tree, eye's shut, and undisturbed, rested a porcupine.
 
It was a great day with the birds.
