[Maine-birds] Sandy Point Morning Flight, 9/14.

Hi all,

It's been a frustrating week of good overnight flights (especially last night) but conditions unfavorable for Sandy Point (e.g. 44 birds on 9/12), and this morning was no different. However, after the fog lifted, a light flight passed over and through.

6:20 to 8:45

59 F, fog lifting to clear, calm becoming very light N.
