[Maine-birds] York through Wells, 11/21 (OCWA, etc)

Hi all, 


Jeannette and I spent most of the day today birding from Long Sands Beach in York through Wells Harbor, concentrating on thickets. 


Best bird was the ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER on Juniper Road at Long Sands Beach. Otherwise, it was just a smattering of the usual "lingering" stuff, including scattered Yellow-rumpled Warblers (high of 16 at Community Park in Wells), 3 Double-crested Cormorants, 2 Hermit Thrushes, 2 Ruby-crowned Kinglets, 2 Northern Flickers, 1 Savannah Sparrow (Bourne Ave, Moody Marsh), 1 Greater Yellowlegs (Harbor Road, Wells), and 22 Dunlin (Wells Harbor).


Other, seasonable highlights, included Harlequin Ducks (high of 21 along Marginal Way in Ogunquit), Purple Sandpipers (50+, Marginal Way), 10 Snow Buntings (Community Park, Wells), scattered Great Cormorants, and a growing number of all of the expected sea ducks.
