Surbirders:
The Biddeford Surfbird and its buddies--11 Ruddy Turnstones, a Dunlin, and a few Purple Sandpipers--roosted and foraged this morning on the north end of Town Thatch Bed, the low island in the middle of the Biddeford Pool. At 11:38 the birds departed, circling the north end of the Pool and exiting northeast through the channel by Vines Landing. This was exactly 3 hours after high (Biddeford, Saco River station; photo here https://flic.kr/p/rxwMPB). I searched the jetties, Hills Beach, and around the point without luck following this. To summarize: the Surfbird has been at the point during low, mid, and high tides; it has been in the Pool at high to mid-tides; it has been with the turnstone flock and not with them, instead moving with Purple Sandpipers. The best one can say is that it's in the area and good luck!
An adult Northern Gannet and a Razorbill flew by East Point during our brief visit there. A male Gadwall was in the Pool.
