[Maine-birds] Baxter State Park

Day 2 of a Baxter State Park tour hit the motherlode today. We had most of
the tough species by 10am, including American Three-toed Woodpecker,
Black-backed Woodpecker, Spruce Grouse, Boreal Chickadee, and Gray Jay.
(That's only 70 minutes off my record for getting the Big Five. My current
record stands at :850am, set last year.) We easily added good looks at
Tennessee, Bay-breasted, and Blackpoll Warbler. An Olive-sided Flycatcher
and bunches of Yellow-bellied Flycatchers entertained. A hen Spruce Grouse
challenged our right to walk the road. With wings arched and an angry
attitude, she successfully drove us off. Nesting Merlins at Kidney Pond
also amused.

Lots of moose, too.
