2 lifers! Indigo Bunting (!!!) & Black and White Warbler, at CM

Almost totally missed the indigo bunting!  Saw a bird in a tree, heard some generic cheeping, decided to take a peek through the binoculars and whoa!  Super cool!

Lifer! Swamp sparrow, in Orleans along the river (Champlain access).

Merlin alerted me, then I snuck a peak. Also saw/heard yellow warblers and american redstarts.

Lifer! Lesser Scaup, at Andrew Hayden Park (the inner pond)

A bunch of them!  Very neat.  Thanks to the laser scope story for keeping this species in my brain. Also some baby Canada geese!

1 lifer! Pine Warbler -- at Lavigne

Almost missed this one because from the song I thought it was a chipping sparrow so didn't try to get a visual.  On a whim used Merlin to double check, and it said pine warbler!  So I took a look, and sure enough.

2 lifers! Belted Kingfisher and Northern Harrier -- at Cumberland M trails

2 or 3 Belted Kingfishers!  What a neat looking bird.  Spent 10-15 minutes hanging out watching them, at the field by the creek. Northern Harrier was soaring -- the white band on the top side by the tail, and the underside markings, make me pretty confident of the i.d.
