[Maine-birds] Beech Hill Preserve, Rockport

Couple hours on the hill this morning yielded twenty-eight species, the most so far this year.

FOY birds included Double-crested Cormorant (very, very, insanely high overflight -- just happened to notice 'em while looking up at a harrier through binocs), Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (drumming), Belted Kingfisher (voice, in flight), and Carolina Wren (only the second I've had up there in many hundreds of hikes there over several years).
