[Maine-birds] Sandy Point Morning Flight, 9/1/12

Hi all,

A very good morning flight passed over and through Sandy Point Beach, Cousin's Island, Yarmouth this morning. The flight was quite high, making for a poor "batting average" of identified birds for me.  However, it was very good to see a few birds already making use of the new plantings!

 

6:00am to 7:40am (birds still trickling through, but I had to get back to meet my Birdwalk group).

65F, light NW becoming N, mostly clear.
