A thick ground-clinging fog enveloped Popham Beach when I hit it at low tide this afternoon. It made finding shorebirds in the lagoon a little dicey. Near as I could count, there were these:
5 Semipalmated sands
2 White-rumped sands
5 BB Plovers
1 Semi Plover
1 Willet
and some Herring Gulls
15 minutes later over at Ft Popham, there were 100s of gulls feeding on an upwelling of something in Atkins Bay. A few Bonies, but mostly Herring Gulls. Also there were 9 BBPlovers and
5 Semipalmated sands
2 White-rumped sands
I assumed the latter 2 species were same birds as earlier around the corner.
The 2 White-rumps were not the same as the solo bird at Popham on May 18.
