[Maine-birds] Additional Highlights This Week, 9/14-20

Hi all,
My non-Sandy Point observations of note over the past seven days included:
- 6 Black-crowned Night-Herons, Royal River, Yarmouth, 9/14 (with Saturday Morning Birdwalk group).
- 2 juvenile WESTERN SANDPIPERS, 3 AMERICAN OYSTERCATCHERS, 1 adult LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL, etc, Hill's Beach, Biddeford, 9/15.
- 1 CLOUDLESS SULFUR (my second of the summer), Hill's Beach, Biddeford, 9/15 (with Pat Moynahan).
- 1 juvenile WESTERN SANDPIPER, Biddeford Pool Beach, 9/15 (with Pat Moynahan; in hindsight, this was likely one of the individuals that I had at Hill's Beach earlier).
- 2 ad. LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS, Pine Point Beach, Scarborough, 9/16 (with Jeannette). 
- 10 species of warblers in our Pownal yard on 9/17.
- 2 adult and 1 juvenile SANDHILL CRANES, Mayall Rd, Gray/New Gloucester, 9/19. Pair have been frequenting these fields in the fall for at least 6 years but were late in arriving this year. Now, we know why. This is the first year they showed up with a juvenile.
