[Maine-birds] Whimbrel report Flat Bay, Milbridge

This morning's low tide yielded 82 Whimbrel in the southern end of Flat Bay feeding with a great assortment of peeps, terns and gulls. This is Milbridge township!

This evening 102 Whimbrel were counted there again scattered over sandbars exposed by the low or minus tides. At least two dozen Short-billed Dowitchers, scattered yellowlegs, lots of peeps as well as a good number of Common Terns, Laughing/Herring/Ring-billed Gulls.  There must be a rich and accessible food source in this particular area given the number of species and amount of activity.
