[Maine-birds] Boreal grand slam

This has never happened before.

Seth Benz and I are co-leading a tour in and around Baxter State Park.
Today, we hit some of the hot spots off the Telos Road west of Baxter. We
had a male spruce grouse, a female spruce grouse, gray jays, a bunch of
boreal chickadees, a black-backed woodpecker, and an American three-toed
woodpecker...all before 1pm. 1pm! What do we do with the rest of the day?!
Usually we're still searching for a key miss right up until dinner. Today,
happy hour starts early at Big Moose Inn in Millinocket.


Scooped up most of the warblers, too, including a cooperative mourning
warbler, and a teed-up bay-breasted. Still missing Cape May and Tennessee,
though. But, plenty of moose to make up for it.
