[Maine-birds] No Wilson's Plover on Seawall this afternoon

Barbara and I birded the Morse River end of Seawall Beach from 13:15 to 15:00hrs with no Wilson's Plover apparent.  The tide was coming in and we were there from mid tide to high tide.  17 Blackbellies, a Red Knot, and a Ruddy Turnstone are likely summering in the area.

To my knowledge, this is at least the fourth known Wilson's Plover for Seawall Beach since 1982 or so.

Best, Peter
