[Maine-birds] Re: Shorebirds/Gulls/Terns in Flat Bay, Harrington

Hi Merle and Anne,

We went to Flat bay on Saturday at low tide (around noon)  and didn't see any of these guys--so undoubtedly we were in the wrong place.  Were do you watch from?  We went to Pineo Point. Oak Point, and Rays point.  Had a great time but didn't see any Whimbrels.  Thanks  Bob and Lucia Knight

Two adult Bald Eagles keep things stirred up and a few Merlins harass the peeps.
