Jeff Webb and I birded a few locations in Cape Elizabeth early this afternoon. At Two Lights we saw 2 Harlequin Ducks and 1 Northern Gannet. A visit to the Lobster Shack yielded 12 more Harlequins.
At Kettle Cove there was 1 LAPLAND LONGSPUR feeding in the parking lot median strip.
We had a brief glimpse of the WHITE-EYED VIREO flying into some brush near the picnic tables at Crescent Beach, confirmed by 2 other birders there who had just seen it. (I actually saw this bird on Thursday afternoon flying into a tangle closer to the shore. At the time I thought it was a Yellow-rumped Warbler because it made a "check" call... but the brightly contrasting wing bars, the way it flew low and concealed itself, and the coloration pattern on the body had me wondering a little, until I saw Bill's post).
There were also 2 American Tree Sparrow along the edge of the parking lot at Crescent.
