[Maine-birds] eBird Report - Totman Cove, Phippsburg, Jan 27, 2015

 I think I should get some points for even trying to do some birding today! But, I did. Nothing rare or even unusual, but a pretty good number of birds. It's still snowing and blowing here. These are the birds that I was able to see from the safety of inside the house today when there brief peeks of visibility. RRR
