[Maine-birds] Essex Street Marsh, Bangor: Green Heron, White-crowneds & more

Interesting birds yesterday at Essex Woods/Marsh were the Pied-billed Grebe family of 4 that continues, a small flock of Sparrows that contained Song, Swamp, White-throated and at least 6 White-crowneds.  No ducks of interest, just Mallards & a few Blacks.  A flock of a couple dozen warblers contained a Nashville among all the Yellow-rumps.  Also I finally got a decent photo of a Green Heron  [attached file warning].
 
(Camera note:  This Panasonic Lumix DNC-F27 camera I've had for the past few years is generally TERRIBLE for taking bird photos.  Zoom feature aside, the viewfinder is nearly useless and the focus is deathly slow.  I got much better pics with my old Fuji Finepix).
