Fwd: [Maine-birds] South Coast fallout, continued

[Derek Lovitch]

Here's a little more from slightly further north up the Maine Coast. I wonder if anyone was birding Cape Ann today; it would be interesting to see how extensive this fallout was.

> Hi all,
> Jeannette and I continued our birding day, heading north through Wells. The coastal fallout was evident at least through Cape Neddick. Despite the time (2:15-4:30pm), weather (increasing E wind, fog, and soon drizzle), the neighborhood adjacent to The Nubble was very productive.
