Subject: Sabine's Gull, Head Harbor Passage area
I had a great time birding in the Head Harbor Passage area this afternoon (9/28) with Cindy Fahay, Mike Fahay, and Bill Sheehan. There were thousands of gulls feeding on brit near Green Island on the outgoing tide. The highlight was an adult Sabine's gull that we spotted among the swirling flocks. We also saw at least two pomarine and six parasitic jaegers, and 35+ Manx shearwaters out near East Quoddy Head light. Surprisingly, we did not find a single phalarope.
Photos of the Sabine's gull can be seen here:
