[Maine-birds] YCA Wed Birding Trip: Parsons Way (1/27)

Ten birders enjoyed a mild morning walk today along Parsons Way in
Kennebunkport. The walk was part of the York County Audubon Wednesday
Birding group. Collectively, we observed 33 species. Highlights
included a Harlequin Duck, 2 Purple Sandpipers, a Black Guillemot, and
close looks at Cedar Waxwings, Eastern Bluebirds, and an American
Robin near Walker's Point. Thanks to Andy Aldrich for keeping the list
(see below).

FYI: I'm leading a bird walk on Parsons Way on Feb 6th (rain/snow
date: 2/7). Details here: joshfecteau.com/events.

Thanks,
Josh
