[Maine-birds] This Week's Highlights, 6/23-28

Hi all, 
Not surprisingly, most of my week was spent catching up from being away on tour, but I did sneak out a few times.  Those highlights included:

-1 BLACK-NECKED STILT, 1-2 SEASIDE SPARROWS, and 1 Greater Yellowlegs,
Eastern Road Trail, Scarborough Marsh, 6/23 (with Danny Akers).
- 3 Yellow-throated Vireos, 1 family group of Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, and 1 Pied-billed Grebe, Morgan Meadow WMA, 6/25 (with Danny Akers and Jeannette).
- 1 continuing family group of Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, Old Town House Park, North Yarmouth, 6/25 (with Danny Akers and Jeannette).
- Scarborough Marsh, 6/28 (With a client - despite the weather, we cleaned up!):
- BLACK-NECKED STILT and 1 SEASIDE SPARROW continues off of Eastern Road.
- TRICOLORED HERON and two AMERICAN OYSTERCATCHERS at Pine Point.
- 50+ Roseate Terns.
- 1 Short-billed Dowitcher (First of fall!?), 8 Black-bellied Plovers, and 6 Greater Yellowlegs, Pine Point. Increase in shorebirds could be a combination of northbound wandering non-breeders and now possibly the first southbound non- or failed breeders.

 Meanwhile, my blog (with photos) from my aforementioned WINGS tour, can be found here:
