Applause for Maine's birding community

[Charles Duncan]

I spent much of the day looking for and then seeing the Ash-throated Flycatcher in Biddeford Pool today--first on my own and then later with Laura who had been busy hosting our overnight guests.  Overall, I probably interacted with 20 or 25 birders over 4 or 5 hours.

I'd like to appreciate publicly what a great group of folks comprise our birding community.  Everyone was respectful of not approaching the bird too closely, as helpful to each other as possible ("Is everyone on it?"  "Here, use my scope,"), and generally as friendly as could be.

Thank you ALL!
