Comments: Maasdam cruise ship walks starting behind Sand Beach, over the beach to Otter Point. Today was overcast and windy but we still managed to pull a few birds out of the woods. Not many Warblers but great looks in the scope at a male Pileated Woodpecker. Afternoon trip featured Francisco (8) from Portugal a phishing birds and being amazed by Common Loons. The Bar Harbor Cruise ship season is upon us for the next two months!! Brushing up on my foreign languages.
