They're back - 83 Whimbrel at Flat Bay

[Merle and Anne Archie]

The count for this evening's low tide was 83.  The Whimbrel were all in a nice, close flock at their usual place but were spooked when the lobster boats returned to harbor at Mill Creek/Oak Point.  They all flew further down the bay.   I shifted location and found 50 of them scattered along the tidal waterline south of Mill Creek in Flat Bay.

Thanks to the Archies Rob & I were able to see 50 whimbrel, about 20 Black bellied plovers, 16 short billed dowitchers, a flock of unidentified peeps, and 2 possible semi palmated sandpipers. Wonderful afternoon Downeast!
