[Maine-birds] WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPER, Wharton Point, Brunswick, 5/30

Hi all,

While leading a birdwalk as part of our Leica Day events at the store, Cameron Cox and I found a WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPER at Wharton Point in Brunswick (Delorme Map 6: C-3).  We believe the bird was a 1st Spring bird, or a very pale adult, but we need to look more carefully at the photos. This is a great bird in the spring!  It was associating with a small mixed flock of Semipalmated Sandpipers and Plovers, and/or two Least Sandpipers.

 

And as a reminder, Cameron will be giving a free presentation tonight entitled, "A Birder's Guide to Photography"  (And he'll be incorporating the shots of this unbelievably cooperative White-rump).  More information is here:
