[Maine-birds] Spear Farm Estuary (Yarmouth) - Ducks, Hermit Thrushes, Yellowlegs, etc

A pair of Wood Ducks continue on the pond (tend to hang out in the NE cove).  Also on the pond are three Hooded Mergansers (I believe all young males) and a pair of Ring-neck Ducks.  Out in the marsh were several Green-winged Teal. 

 

Other highlights (new for the year) were three Hermit Thrushes foraging at the NW tip of the pond and three Greater Yellowlegs out in the marsh.  Cowbirds vocalizing constantly.  Warbler-wise, only one Pine Warbler.  Both kinglets present, and several flickers.  Evidence of a Pileated, but I have yet to find this year.
