The property full of birds this morning in Harpswell, is indeed, a Harpswell Heritage Land Trust holding known as the Curtis Farm Preserve. It is open to the public. I believe I'll designate it as an eBird "Hotspot". There are no established trails thru the site, but birders will find ample birds to see or hear just by sticking to the field edges, old logging drags, etc.

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.
