[Maine-birds] mediocre seabirds from Portland today

Jan Pierson and I went out on the Odyssey from Portland this morning and saw a light sampling of seabirds, nothing special - but given the paucity of tubenoses, perhaps adequate:

Great Shearwater: 2
Sooty: 1
Wilson's Storm-Petrel: 20
Leach S-P: 1, somewhat unexpected.
N. Gannet: 20 or so.
Red Phalarope: 1

Semi Plover and Sandpiper.

Probably the most interesting observation, 2 chunky shorebirds that might have been Pecs but couldn't be sure.

Whales: 3 Minkes.

I'd wait to hear better news before heading out.

But it was a lovely day on the water.

Best, Peter
