[Maine-birds] Viles Arboretum birds - Augusta bird club this morning - 31 species

Nine members of the Augusta bird club met at the Viles Arobretum (formerly Pine Tree Arboretum), Augusta from 7-9 this morning. It was over cast, 45-50F and the wind picked up toward the end of the walk. We walked from the visitor center around Viles Pond, through the woods trail and out around the board walk and back, seeing the following 31 species, including  six warbler species, and 2 FOY's for me: Oven Bird and Yellow Warbler. 
 
Thanks, Lionel Quirion, for leading the walk. Weather depending, he will be there every week day during May at 7:00 am for those who want to join the walk for as long as you can stay.
