It was nice to meet you today at Weskeag! We had a great time birding along the coast today and totaled up about 40 species. Its great getting to know a new bird community up here in Maine. Highlights for me included the stilts (not the stilts I know from AZ!) and the pectorals, that hungry merlin you mentioned, plus surf scoters and black bellied plovers at Birch Point Beach. Thank you for a lovely introduction to Maine birding.
Best,

Last two mornings there has been a sprinkling of shorebirds at the front ponds at Weskeag. Yesterday 6 or 7 pectorals, 3 stilts, a blue-winged among the teal/black ducks. Today more of the same, joined by 3 white-rumps, a harrier, and a merlin putting on quite a show as it missed breakfast. Both yellowlegs present, semi-palmated and least sandpipers. No dowitchers and no phalarope.
Cheers,
bab
