[Maine-birds] Sanford Lagoons: Swallows and Swifts...

Swarms of swallows and swifts were feasting on clouds of tiny insects
at the Sanford Lagoons this morning. Rough estimates are:

50 Tree Swallow
50 Bank Swallow
20 Barn Swallow
2 Cliff Swallow
50 Chimney Swift

Shorebirds present were:

2 Short-billed Dowitcher
1 Semipalmated Plover
1 Peep sp. (probably Least)
and larger numbers of Spotted Sandpipers and Killdeer

In the large marsh (north end of long pond), a vocal Marsh Wren continues.
