[Maine-birds] Stilt Continues - 1-1:30 PM

When I arrived at the Eastern Road pans at 1 PM there was no stilt in sight.  But at 1:05 I saw the Stilt flying in from far away to the SE and it landed in a pan reasonably close to the trail.  As you're walking down the trail away from Pine Point Rd. this is the pan almost to the woods on the right hand side.  It fed and slept there until about 1:30.  Then it flew to the southeast and it dropped into the marsh out of view close to the duck blind out in the marsh.  Lots of places even for a large flashy shorebird to hide out there.

Other birds present were -
Several distant dark ibises
1 adult Little Blue Heron
Numerous singing Nelson's Sparrows
A couple singing Salt Marsh Sparrows
Maybe 1 singing Seaside Sparrow - only sang a couple times and I couldn't be sure
