[Maine-birds] Harpswell - one nice mixed feeding flock

Anytime I can see Tennessee W., Bay-breasted W. and a female Blackburnian together, essentially in a single glass, I immediately think 20 warblers is possible. But NO_O_O. Could only hit 19, this morning in the woods behind a Land Trust Holding that I don't know the name of yet, so I call it Mystery Field. Dominant there were at least 12 Ind Buntings, all males, and all singing. Also in attendance were multiple REVireos, 3 Scarlet Tanagers, 2 Wood Thrushes, 4 Veery. Numerous warblers included: Myrtle W. 14 (have been thinning out for me lately), Ovenbird 14, BTGreen 8. Others solo or few.

Nearby Mitchill Field was pretty quiet by the time I got there, but took 115 photos of a Black-billed Cuckoo, first encountered in the small field to the SW. A lingering RNGrebe was off the property, N of the dock.
