[Maine-birds] Birding at Crowley Island Bridge and other points on the Addison/Jonesport town boundary

We birded Crowley Island Bridge (Indian River) at low tide today trying to figure out "last mud" for the best shorebird viewing.  We estimated 250 Semipalmated Sandpipers, 50 Greater Yellowlegs and 40 Lesser Yellowlegs, 20 Short-billed Dowitchers, 100 Black-bellied Plover, 20 Semipalmated Plover and one Hudsonian Godwit. 

From the bluff at the Indian River Cemetery (the access road is immediately south of the Crowley Island turnoff from Route 187) we saw 14 Whimbrel flying over and circling the river finally landing on rocks close to the shoreline! Nice!
