Other waterfowl there and at Wells Beach or harbor were unremarkable, but delightful.
Common Loon
Horned Grebe
Common Eider - dozens
Scoters - all three species. Good to see a Surf Scoter quite close.
Long-tailed Duck
Common Goldeneye- 1
Bufflehead-3
Mergansers - all three species- it always means Spring to me when I see Hoodeds
We didn't look for the Piping Plovers in Wells.
No Purple Sandpipers. No redwings on the marsh that we could see. We didn't stop.
No passerines, except for crows and Rock Pigeons at Billy's Chowder House on Mile Rd., Wells.
Crowds of people already, at Perkins Cove. Sunny, chilly by the ocean, but pleasant.
Fun to share scope and bird sightings with passersby.
