[Maine-birds] FW: eBird Report - Totman Cove, Phippsburg, Aug 17, 2012

FOS White-winged scoters 2
Red-necked grebe FOS also, all cavorting about in the company of the Black Gillemot that's been here for a week or so happily progressing in it's molt.
The water in the cove is flat calm this morning. Very easy to see birds.
Lots of DC cormorants and the flotillas of Common Eiders are building, up to nearly 60 now
