[Maine-birds] Kingfisher day

Wed. 8/28
One doesn't usually think about "flocks" of Kingfishers but today (Wed.) there were between 3-10 together on all of the Porcupine Islands in Frenchman Bay. I stopped counting after the first couple of islands but there were probably 100+ along the Bar Harbor/Acadia NP shoreline and along the shore of all the islands in the bay. All of this during our 10 a.m. to noon nature cruise. I always pictured them as moving individually in migration but that didn't seem to be the situation today.
