Despite heavy seas and a buffeting wind we did see Thick-billed Murres from West Quoddy Head - as well as six White-winged Scoters and a sweet flock of 21 Purple Sandpipers who were bathing and preening in a tidal pool below the light. AND - a welcome sign of spring to us was a flock of beautiful male American Robins seen on the South Lubed Road on the way to West Quoddy.
Yesterday we birded the waters from Otter Cliffs on the southeast side of MDI. The most interesting birds were 3 Common Murres fairly close to shore. On our way over to Ellsworth we saw 4 Red Crossbills on Highway 182 - the birds were busy doing something in the middle of the highway - we watched for a while but couldn't quite figure it out!
