[Maine-birds] FW: eBird Report - Spirit Pond, Phippsburg, Apr 26, 2015

Sunday was the Phippsburg Land Trust, Spirit Pond bird walk. Decidedly UNBIRDY! Only 26 species and most of them heard, not seen. Of note, 10 Bald eagles, a nice Pileated in its nest cavity and five Green winged teal. The walk was beautiful and looks like great potential for the next couple of weeks when migration will really be taking off. Oddly, not a single warbler! The human company was marvelous! Bud and Bob, if you send me your email addresses, I'll share the eBird list so you don't have to re enter the data.
