Nice variety of shorebirds the past couple weeks at Seapoint (Kittery Point). We've had several juvenile Baird's, a Red Knot juve, a juve Piping Plover, many White-rumped adults in both breeding and non-breeding plumage, but so far, not a single Pectoral or Dunlin. Late afternoon today as a thunderstorm approached, I came across a small mixed flock foraging the seaweed deposited in the berm of Crescent Beach with 2 White-rumped adults molting into winter plumage, 2 young Ruddy Turnstones, 2 Semipalmated Sandpiper juves, 8 Least sandpipers half of them adults and half juves, and a first for me at Seapoint—2 Buff-breasted Sandpiper juveniles.
