[Maine-birds] Field Sparrow and Rose-breasted Grosbeak at Saxl Park, Bangor, 10/22

Hi everyone,

I had another great rainy day birding outing at Saxl Park today. The two big highlights were flushing a Field Sparrow on the southern edge of the park, where the recently mowed grass meets the tall grass. Before that, when I was just starting out, I had a late Rose-breasted Grosbeak make a brief appearance in the bushy area between Saxl Park and Cascade Park.

There's been a high turnover rate at the park the last couple weeks and today was no exception. Despite seeing 5-10 Hermit Thrushes every morning, I had none today. Just about the reverse is true for Savannah Sparrows, which were abundant today (20+) - I had none on my last trip out to Saxl.

Good birding!
