[Maine-birds] 17 White-rumps at Seawall Beach, Phippsburg

I birded Seawall Beach on the receding tide this afternoon and was surprised by 17 White-rumped Sandpipers, unusual number for this date. There were 11 in a single flock among Semi Sandpipers. I don't remember seeing so many White-rumps in this after spring migration - close to fall migration- period. i assume these are largely summering birds, which I also don't expect, but we'll see.

Also present:

Black-bellied Plover: 6
Semipalmated Plover: 2
Piping Plover: 7, 3+ nesting pairs across the Morse River on the Popham side.
Semipalmated Sandpipers: 45+
Sanderling: 2

Least Tern: 15
etc...

Best, Peter
