One hour (1415-1515) spent at one spot between Thunder Hole and Otter Cliffs in Acadia NP.
25++ Purple Sandpipers being chased unsuccesfully by a Peregrine Falcon zigzagging in and out along the rocks.
Large school of fish being chased by Harbor Porpoise brought in a number of birds, 2 Kittiwakes, several Herring, several Great Black-backed Gulls. A large, light unidentified jaeger which I think was a Pomarine, spent 10 minutes chasing varioud gulls as they came up with fish.
Along the immediate shoreline; Common Eider, Black Scoters, Black Guillemot, 16 Horned Grebes, 4 Red-necked Grebes.
Fly-bys of Great Cormorant, Double-crested Cormorant, 2 Red-breasted Mergansers, 20+ Long-tailed Duck, 25+ Black Scoters, 2 Red-throated Loons.
