Day 4 of a 5-day tour was a whopper today, despite the heavy rain. Seth
Benz and I are now at Schoodic Education and Research Center, and we took
the group up the coast a bit today. Rain stopped by late morning and we
were treated to an awesome show by the Upland Sandpipers on the Columbia
blueberry barrens. Multiple birds were flying around, calling. One fella
flew high in the air and stayed up there for 20 minutes, calling
constantly. Others landed near us, calling. One set of parents were being
followed around by a couple of chicks next to the road. Cool.
But the highlight was a Caspian Tern at Addison Marsh. It was in the
pannes visible from the boat ramp. We watched for about 15 minutes before
it was flushed by an eagle and headed down river.
