[Maine-birds] Lubec shorebirds

I've got a group tour on Grand Manan right now, but we spent yesterday
afternoon on the Lubec sand flats. Numbers continue to be lower than
expected, but variety was good. Besides all the Least and Semipalmated
Sandpipers, and about 60 Black-bellied Plovers, highlights included:
2 Whimbrel
2 Red Knots
1 or 2 American Golden Plovers
1 Merlin

Included among the highlights along the North Trail of Moosehorn NWR -
Edmunds - 2 Philadelphia Vireos. They're migrants, because I've never had
one in there in breeding season.
