Yes, I had more than 100 roosting and feeding on a very small pond in West Falmouth. Have never seen such numbers at that location in 50 years.

I saw several hundred in a few loose flocks flying northward above the Fore River, Portland, about 7:15 this morning. When I got to Grondin Pond in SoPo, there were 1,000 +/- there in a dense, long string on the water. And as I was leaving perhaps another 500 dropped in from the northwest.

The only comparable numbers in Vickery (2020) are "2,500 flying north off Biddeford, 28 Apr 1985 (P. Cross)" and "~1,000 at Sewall Beach, 2 May 1993 (PDV, eBird)."

Yes, I had more than 100 roosting and feeding on a very small pond in West Falmouth. Have never seen such numbers at that location in 50 years.

[Maine-birds] Kennebunk Beaches

At the Kennebunk beaches around 3 PM, we saw a merlin and a kestrel separately on high evergreens, one American pipit, and three savannah sparrows. The latter species had bright yellow supercillia. There were two flocks of over 70 double-crested cormorants and 25 long-tailed ducks.
