I had the pleasure of guiding a Road Scholar birding trip in the greater Campobello, NB/ Lubec, ME region from August 26-29. In general, bird numbers were low with only 400-500 shorebirds at the South Lubec Flats and less than 1000 Bonaparte's gulls in Head Harbor Passage. Fog and rain also hampered our fun during the week. We still enjoyed many quality moments and several people added to their life lists. Here are my highlights from the trip.
