[Maine-birds] Shorebirds

Just a note concerning the pools on Easter Road:  skip them for the present as the rain has rendered them almost wader-less.  Among the semi/semis Biddeford Beach at high tide yesterday produced a hand full of turnstones still in good plumage, 6 or 8 white-rumps, 2 (count 'em 2) sanderlings, and a single dowitcher wondering what he was doing walking around on the boulders at the eastern end of the beach.  Hills Beach had maybe a dozen black-bellied plovers and a flock of Bonaparte's dipping in the falling tide.
