At low tide today we counted 92 Whimbrel along the waterline on the west side of Flat Bay. Approximately 400 Semi-palmated Sandpipers, 40+ Short-billed Dowitchers and 20+ Black-bellied Plovers were also feeding at low tide in the same area.
Last year the Whimbrel stayed around for nearly a week so we hope to see them again.
While we were sipping tea on the deck with Cherryfield birders Joel Wilcox and Sandy Fairbanks, a Merlin flew in and perched on the top of a tree not far from the house. We had great views for 5 minutes or so.
We heard and saw our FOY Bonaparte's Gull for Flat Bay as well.
