[Maine-birds] Sandy Point Morning Flight, 9/14

Hi all,

A very good flight passed over and through Sandy Point, Cousin's Island, Yarmouth this am. Cameron Cox once again joined me to count, while Matthew Gilbert and Dan Nickerson helped spot birds we would definitely have missed in the often-high and scattered flight.

6:19–10:00am
53F, mostly clear. NW 3.6-4.8 (but west at cloud height) to N 4.7-5.8mph.
