[Maine-birds] NEW YEAR'S EVE REMINDER - turn'em back!

Ok "Listers", don't forget to turn all the registers back to zero, midnight, tonight. Tomorrow we start with a clean slate. Hopefully the Eurasian Wigeon, Western Tanager, Chat and King Eider will stick around, and perhaps the departed Damariscotta Pink-footed Goose, will turn up in the North Yarmouth, Cumberland and Falmouth Goose Fields, but there are plenty of other seasonal rarities lingering to help jump start the New...
