Little change with the island birds since yesterday other than the WESTERN KINGBIRD appears to have departed.
Grand Manan or Machias region? My bet would be that it headed to the Maine coast, given the wind direction.
"Our" YELLOW CROWNED NIGHT HERON continues for the 5th day.
There were perhaps 200 shorebirds around today. The majority were SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPERS, followed closely by LEAST SANDPIPERS.
The "also ran" distinction goes to RUDDY TURNSTONES (3) and SPOTTED SANDPIPER (16).

ARCTIC TERNS are still here but very few. The lingering adults still have 2, maybe 3 chicks that are just begining to test their wings.
If these last youngsters make it to flight, they will push the total number of survivors this season to about 15, maybe even as many as 20.
