The sod fields in Fryeburg Harbor can be a productive place for birding after three days of rain, and so it proved this morning. Bob Crowley and I were out on Old River Road and saw several different species of shorebirds - 1 Golden Plover, 3 Black-bellied Plovers, 7 Pectoral sandpipers, Lesser Yellowlegs, and a single Dunlin. The fields were covered in Pipits, 95 by my count, easy to see in the short grass.
There was also a Bonaparte's Gull on nearby McNeil Road and 230 Canada geese on Rt 113. There were no non-Canada geese, and surprisingly no ducks of any sort.
