[Maine-birds] Sandy Point Morning Flight, 10/18.

Hi all,

It was another light - and frigid! - flight that passed over and through Sandy Point Beach, Cousin's Island, Yarmouth. However, unlike in each of my 5 visits since 10/8 (none over 104 birds) the count was actually a little better than I expected and featured good diversity for the date and a couple of goodies.
