[Maine-birds] Northern Maine Birds: Black-belled Plover and American Golden-Plover

This AM I had a calling Black-bellied Plover fly over my house in Woodland... The bird was not visible in the drizzle and fog, but its repeated, distinctive calls carried well as it passed and faded off to the south.  These are uncommon in northern Maine and it was a new one for my yard list.  Number 143.

On Sunday, a few of us birded around Lake Josephine in Easton.  Things were busy with a good diversity of land and shore birds. Highlights were a molting adult American Golden-Plover in a freshly plowed field just north of the lake, a drake Redhead in molt and juvenile Sora and Virgina Rails. We ended the morning with 66 species.
