[Maine-birds] Wilson's Plover - Seal Island National Wildlife Refuge (Restricted Access)

Hi all,

Sorry for the late post! Busy time of year here with many tern and alcid chicks about! Just wanted to share that I found a Wilson's Plover on Seal Island NWR on the 13th. See photos in ebird checklist: https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S58183451. This was certainly not a species on my radar for this island as the habitat seemed way off. Like other rare shorebirds I have had here on Seal, it was a one day wonder. Regardless, pretty amazing considering its the furtherest north and east of the only 9 accepted/historical/ not reviewed records in the state and apparently the first away from a sandy beach! 

Regards and Razorbills,
