[Maine-birds] belated Cory's Shearwater and other birds

Apologies if someone else reported these to the listserve. I know they have been submitted to eBird. On a Hog Island Audubon camp boat trip to Eastern Egg Rock last Thursday (7/14) we saw at least 6 Cory’s Shearwater’s including two sitting on the water near the island. Also had a couple of American Oystercatchers fly in and land on the island. Lots of other expected birds but I was impressed to count at least 64 Black Guillemots in one sweep of the binocs over 1-2 minutes in the eastern part of inner Muscongus Bay.

 

We also did see two juvenile Peregrine Falcons playing around by stooping at soaring gulls over Weskeag Marsh on Wednesday, July 13.
