[Maine-birds] Dovekies @ Nubble Light

I went to Nubble Light in Cape Neddick today for the first time in hopes of seeing a lifebird Thick-Billed Murre. I struck out there, but did find a lifebird Dovekie and 30 minutes later realized that there were two of them. I attached a link to my Flickr page with a documentation shot with both birds together. I speculate that there might have been three birds, but I can't be sure of that. The birds were diving often and for good lengths of time, making it a real challenge to get a good look at them and to get photos. Also present there were at least 5 Harlequins, all three Scoters, a few Red-Necked Grebes, and amongst all the other expected species, there was an odd Long-Tailed Duck that had an entirely white face.
