[Maine-birds] OCWA,NAWA,YRWA,PAWA,WIWR,RTLO,MERL @ Saco Yacht Club

My son and I visited the Saco Yacht Club (Riverwalk) for the second day in a row. We had no luck yesterday, but it was great to be in a very "songbirdy" area this time of year. Today, with warmer temperatures the sun shining, arriving around noon was perfect for bug-eating birds. Our timing couldn't have been better because not 10 seconds after finding the Orange-Crowned and Nashville Warblers foraging together, a Merlin flew in and scattered most of the birds. I tried for at least an hour to relocate them in hopes of photos, but couldn't find them. Don't worry, the Merlin didn't catch anything. On the way out, I passed by the tail-pumping and very drab Palm Warbler and was scolded by the continuing Winter Wren. This is a really cool birding spot!
