[Maine-birds] Short-eared Owl at Reid State Park

A nice-looking Short-eared Owl was observed hunting this morning (10:20 AM) along the back-dune off Mile Beach at Reid State Park.  It was coming from the direction of Todd's Point to near the main parking lot and then turned around and headed back along the dune toward Todd's Point, where it was lost sight of.

Other birds encountered today included a good-sized flock of sanderlings, 40+ actively diving razorbills and a half-dozen Black-legged kittiwakes.  It was a great day weather-wise, with light winds and good viewing conditions.
