This afternoon (9/13) I saw the continuing Western Sandpiper as well as a Dunlin roosting on the rocks at the South Point end of Biddeford Pool Beach. Then at the Winding Brook Turf Farm I did not see the Buff Breasted Sandpiper that had been reported recently, but did find an American Golden Plover and a Pectoral Sandpiper. Danny Danforth

Friday, September 17.

The Western Sandpiper continues in the wrack at Biddeford Pool Beach a few hours after high tide.  And at Winding Brook Sod Farms two Buff Breasted Sandpipers were on the plowed fields near the entrance, as were a Baird's Sandpiper, a Solitary Sandpiper, and a small flock of American Pipits - all amid many, many Killdeer.
