[Maine-birds] Re: SNOWY PLOVER - Georgetown, 6/13

Hello Maine Birders,

I am as excited as the rest of you (likely more!) about this Snowy Plover, but I want to encourage you all to use your best birding courtesy and then some when looking at the visiting Snowy and Piping Plover. It is very hot, and the two of them seemed paired together. Please make sure and leave even more room than you think is necessary and give them lots of space. 

I know I'm largely preaching to the choir here, but I see lots of plover-lovers getting too close and I know that this bird is very exciting for many of us.

Thanks,

Laura

I just got a text (with photo) that Zac Fait on Maine Audubon's Plover Crew found a SNOWY PLOVER on the beach at Reid State Park (in Georgetown) today, 6/13. Information for accessing Reid can be found here: http://www.maine.gov/cgi-bin/online/doc/parksearch/details.pl?park_id=13

And on the MAINE Birds Facebook Group a Townsend's Solitaire was photographed by Wendy Sawyer today; an exceptional June record: https://www.facebook.com/groups/MAINEBirds/permalink/1359322857483146/

What a week to be out of the state!
