[Maine-birds] Popham Beach - Spotted sands

Several of us have been consistently noticing 1 or 2 Spotted Sandpipers at Popham this year. I've wondered about nesting there. Not noticed in the past 10 years, and maybe not that unusual. This morning, an adult (might have been the male) was leading me away from 2 fledglings, out on their own, foraging on open sand or over driftwood. Nesting site may have been dune grass, among the Least Terns, or possibly in a small patch of Spartina next to the lagoon.
