[Maine-birds] American oystercatchers at Laudholm Farm

Saturday 6/20 around 3 pm we saw 2 adult oystercatchers fly off the ocean into the cove near all the wonderful least tern families and then veer out and fly south hugging the shore.
Saw two adult piping plovers and 4 chicks.
Several dozen adult least terns bringing food back to young. Only two common terns harassing them while we were there.
Saw several adult willets as we hiked from the beach to the farm, including one that stood atop a tall pine tree calling constantly. We were some distance away but got great views through the scope.
