[Maine-birds] Re: 153 Whimbrel on Flat Bay, Harrington!!!

Awesome! Sounds like a "road-trip-worthy" event.  Especially since it's my favorite shorebird. 
Maybe there are other records, but the highest previous number I can find for ME is 110 (P. Vickery, Deblois Barrens, 8-2-87). 
Thanks for reporting this noteworthy concentration.

The flock is getting bigger and many birds flew to the south before I could get down to the shoreline and count.

 

A smattering of Black-bellied Plover and Short-billed Dowitchers but no large flocks of peeps today.

 

The Whimbrel seem to show up about 1/2 to 3/4 hour after low tide as registered at Milbridge.
