[Maine-birds] raft of birds on Englishman's Bay -evening 27 May

At about 7:20 p.m. we noticed a raft of hundreds of birds going past toward open sea. They were passing Halifax Island, leaving Roque Island and Cow Point behind them on either side. Wally saw a similar sight in spring 2016 and spring 2017. He thought they were Black Guillemot. 
  This time the evening light and our lack of a powerful telescope made it difficult to determine what these might be. Any insight would be welcome. I took photos with my little 10X Point and Shoot. Something strange has happened with my Wordpress; it created a "page", whatever that is. But if you go to the link you can see the raft as it changed shape from teardrop to V.  There was a smaller raft ahead of this one.
