[Maine-birds] Green Point WMA - Sep 16

Highlights from this morning.  About an average bird density for this date, but some surprising "quality birds". 

-  Possibly first sky-high flock of "Real Canada Geese" against a squally sky
- 450 or so Teal in the rice.  Both BW and GW present, but ratio not counted
- 6 Bald Eagle;  not at all unusual here, but one young bird responsible for making a call very much like that of Summer Tanager - "persnickety". 
- Continuing (?) Olive-sided Flycatcher - atop tall conifer near gate. 
- 24 Eastern Phoebe - actual count on the clicker
- Philly Vireo in a mixed flock
- 13 warblers incl:
No. Waterthrush (late?)
Mourning W.
Nashville W. (very bright bird)
Bay-breasted W.
Blackburnian W.
Blackpoll
Pine warblers 2 (not unusual but one singing)
- and a little push of mostly juvie Swamp Sparrows
