[Maine-birds] Common Redpolls, Indigo Bunting, Rufous Hummingbird: Hills Beach, Biddeford

Took a break today to do some birding on Hills Beach rd, and was pleasantly suprised to see my FOS Common Redpolls (about 30) fly in and start feeding on the pitch (?) pines on Hills Beach rd in Biddeford. Once they stopped calling, they were nearly impossible to find! Also feeding in the pines were 4 Pine Siskins and 30 White-winged Crossbills. The Rufous Hummingbird continues at Pat's place, I only had to watch for a few minutes before it visited the saucer shaped feeder in front of the house. It seemed to be spending some time in the bush immediately around the feeder as well. 

Also of note was a late female Indigo Bunting ( I tried to turn it into a Lazuli, but alas, it was an Indigo).
