I birded Popham Beach SP this morning at low tide. Very few migrant shorebirds (5 Least and 3 Semipalmated Sandpipers) but at least 16 Piping Plovers (including 5 young) and 11 Least Terns, including a "portlandica" Least Tern, meaning it's a first year, non-breeding bird in first basic plumage (white crown, dark carpal bar, black bill).
Otherwise quiet.
Best, Peter
