[Maine-birds] Shorebirds at Flat Bay, Harrington

Four months and counting of shorebirds on the Flat Bay mudflats!

Lately we've been viewing flocks of Black-bellied Plover mixed with Dunlin and peeps (the birds are on the other side of the bay - we can ID the plover and Dunlin, but not the peeps at that distance).  Yesterday there were 180+ birds and today 150+ birds.  The yellowlegs left about two weeks ago.

Common Goldeneyes showed up yesterday so the gang is all here for the winter. Besides the goldeneye we see  Black and Long-tailed Ducks, Bufflehead, Common Eiders, Common Loons and Red-throated Loons. Big flocks of Bonaparte's Gulls are hanging around. 

Merle and Anne Archie, Harrington
