[Maine-birds] Sabine's gull, etc, Deer Island Point, NB

I enjoyed guiding for a Road Scholar birding trip today out of Eastport aboard Butch Harris's "Miss Patricia".  We headed straight to the Old sow whirlpool and caught sight of a Sabine's gull feeding with Bonaparte's gulls over by Deer Island Point, New Brunswick.  Everyone got to see this bird, which was lifer for many. Other highlights of the cruise included a little gull, two razorbills, one common murre, a few great cormorants, ~300 red-necked phalaropes, plenty of Bonaparte's gulls and black-legged kittiwakes, and two minke whales. It was a very memorable trip. Here are two distant photos of the Sabine's gull.
