[Maine-birds] This Week's Highlights, 9/23-28.

Hi all,

My sightings of note over the past six days between tours to Monhegan, included the following:

- 1 Great Egret, 4 Blue-winged Teal, 4 Ring-necked Ducks, 1 Pied-billed Grebe, 21 American Pipits, etc, Sanford Lagoons, 9/25 (with Jeannette).

- 18 White-rumped Sandpipers, 150 Semipalmated Plovers, etc, Pine Point, Scarborough, 9/25 (with Jeannette).

- 1 Wilson's Snipe, Fort Foster, Kittery, 9/26 (with Jeannette).

- 1 AMERICAN GOLDEN-PLOVER, Harbor Road, Wells, 9/26 (with Jeannette).

- 1 Red-throated Loon (FOF), Laudholm Beach, Wells, 9/26 (with Jeannette).

- 1 Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Crescent Beach State Park, Cape Elizabeth, 9/28..

As for Monhegan last week, I think Kristen covered all of the good birds over the course of the very slow week, but my WINGS tour did have two other goodies that I don't think were mentioned yet:

- 1 Willow Flycatcher, 9/21.

- 1 Northern Fulmar, just over 1/2 way back to New Harbor on the Hardy Boat, 9/23.

Now, back to Monhegan....
