[Maine-birds] 18 species of shorebirds, Biddeford-Scarborough, 9/13.

Hi all,

A very productive day of birding the coast produced a total of 18 species of shorebirds (even though I was hoping for 20). Highlights in included.
- 2 ad. American Oystercatchers, Ocean Ave, Biddeford Pool.
- 2 "WESTERN" WILLETS, The Pool, Biddeford Pool.
- 2 Red Knots, Hill's Beach.

Scarborough Marsh (with Meghan Kelly and Adam Walleyn). All highlights from Eastern Road:
- 2 American Golden-Plovers (1 ad, 1 jv).
- 2 juv. Stilt Sandpipers (photos).
- 2 juv (FOY) Dunlin (photos).
- 1-3 juv LONG-BILLED DOWITCHERS.

Also, 5,000+ Tree Swallows swarming Biddeford Pool and a Budgerigar within a starling flock; 1 tardy Glossy Ibis at Eastern Rd along with 2+ Peregrines wreaking havoc.

Lousy weather but a great day of birding!

-Derek
