[Maine-birds] Popham Beach - Sep 24

Shorebirds seem to be slipping away, with fewer each day.  Highlights from the Lagoon area this morning, shortly after dawn:

1 Western Sandpiper - many photos
2 Am Golden Plovers
6 Pectoral Sands

Also - a female No Harrier was seen chasing and harassing a Cooper's Hawk, over the marsh near the entrance.  Eventually drove the latter into hiding in some bushes.  Didn't know Harriers could be so acrimonius.

No sign of Piping Plovers; also zero terns.
