McNeil Road in Fryeburg Harbor is alive with sparrows right now. This morning one shrub produced Lincoln's sparrow, White-crowned (adult and juvie), White-throated, Swamp, Song and Savannah. Oh, and two warbler species and a catbird. In the field beyond was a northern harrier, and 200 yards away was a kestrel on the line. There have been 70-80 pipits on the sod fields. Yesterday there were 6 sandhill cranes, which reportedly have been around for over a week. They weren't there this morning but it's worth checking again.
Love this migration...
