[Maine-birds] Cumberland County migrants, incl Swamp Sparrow

A birdy day today - glad I played hooky. Anyway, here are some
highlights from Old Town House Park (N Yarmouth), Evergreen Cemetery and
Capisic Pond (Portland), and Gisland Farm (Falmouth). The last two
locations and a brief 2nd trip to Evergreen were with Katrina "Can't
Stop Birdin" Fenton. A special thanks to Liz at Gisland Farm who took
the time to show us around the Nature Center - go check out their
Ivory-billed!
