[Maine-birds] Flat Bay Whimbrel Report

Today several folks saw 134 Whimbrel that were feeding on the west side of Flat Bay.  Lindsay Tudor was one of the people and did the count of 134 birds.   Bill and Monica Grabin and Woody and Jen Gillies were there for the count as well!   We saw the birds from a different location on the east side of Flat Bay.
 
Not many Black-bellied Plover nor Short-billed Dowitchers today but there were probably 100+ peeps feeding in and among the other shorebirds.
 
Today the Whimbrel all flew north when they left the mudflats as did a large flock of peeps.
