[Maine-birds] Birding trip to the blueberry barrens of Washington County

The Downeast Spring Birding Festival's inaugural trip to the blueberry barrens near Columbia, Washington County was a success.  We had excellent looks at upland sandpiper, vesper sparrow, eastern towhee, brown thrasher, and many more. 

Here's our complete list of bird sightings.

Cheers,

Chris Bartlett
