[Maine-birds] More shorebirds at Flat Bay, Harrington

Migrating flocks continue to arrive. On this evening's low tide (8:05 to 8:15) there was a lot of active feeding behavior.  I counted approximately 200  Black-bellied Plover, 60 Short-billed Dowitchers, 200+peeps (getting too dark to identify well) and 7 Greater Yellowlegs. 

This morning's tide also yielded good numbers of Black-bellied Plover, Short-billed Dowitchers, Lesser Yellowlegs and 300+ peeps (most likely Semipalmated Sandpipers looking at feeding behavior).

No Whimbrels at either low tide.
