[Maine-birds] Sandy Point Morning Flight, 9/13 (LASP, DICK).

Hi all,
It was a light, but very exciting flight passing over and through Sandy Point Beach, Cousin's Island, Yarmouth this am, highlighted by my 184th all-time species at this "patch!" I also believe 5 straight days with a flight here is a new record for me.
