[Maine-birds] Sandy Point Beach Morning Flight, 9/12.

Hi all,

With a very strong migration overnight, I was hopeful for my first great flight over and through Sandy Point Beach, Cousin's Island, Yarmouth this morning. Unfortunately, very light winds in the second half of the night, with a more westerly component come dawn, resulted in only a moderate-good flight.
