[Maine-birds] Sandy Point Morning Flight, 11/4.

Hi all,

In what was most likely my last Morning Flight session of the year, a light flight passed over and through Sandy Point Beach, Cousin's Island, Yarmouth this am. 

While the minimal number of cold fronts reduced my number of visits - especially in October - it was another great season of my (very) part-time counting here, highlighted by my 3rd-highest tally of 5,487 on 9/29, one Connecticut Warbler, 2 Orange-crowned Warblers, 2 Yellow-billed Cuckoos, and 1 Dickcissel.

7:20-9:10am.

31F, mostly clear, calm to NW 2.0-3.7mph.

242 American Robins

45 Dark-eyed Juncos

8 Yellow-rumped Warblers
7 Common Grackles

4 American Goldfinches

4 Blue Jays

4 White-throated Sparrows

3 Cedar Waxwings

2 Red-winged Blackbirds

2 American Pipits

2 Purple Finches

2 Hermit Thrushes

1 NORTHERN PARULA (late!)

1 Black-capped Chickadee

1 Sharp-shinned Hawk

1 Ruby-crowned Kinglet

1 Horned Lark

1 Chipping Sparrow

1 White-crowned Sparrow

Total = 333
