Two lesser black-backed gulls on Laudholm Beach gave me a new continent bird this afternoon. They were hanging with more than 100 black-backed and herring gulls (and 1 ring-bill).
Possibly more exciting was having a cloudless sulphur (butterfly) glide right past me just before I reached the beach. It was following the trail inland when it passed me in the marsh. I gave chase but lost it. I don't know how up-to-date the page is, but Maine Butterfly Survey says rare stray not seen in the state since 1995. It's a late-season wanderer from the south. Keep watch, coastal birders!
