Black Skimmers

[Steve Mirick]

Jane and I had 2 Black Skimmers moving south offshore from Bicentennial
Park in Hampton at about 9:10 am. No doubt vagrants carried north by Dorian.

Wow that is awesome. Is this a first for NH?

We were at Hampton harbor latter on in the afternoon, around 6:00 pm (low
tide). Saw the usual, Gulls, Black-bellied Plovers, and many smaller shore
birds on the flats. It was such a nice day we decided to walk on Seabrook
beach along the water line. The highlight there was a Peregrine Falcon
flying over us going North to South. Then as we headed back to our vehicle,
walking by some cottages, the Falcon flew over us again going South to
North.

We actually started our day on Plumb Island, at the Parker River Reserve.
The highlight there was seeing (and taking some ok pictures) of a Hudsonian
Godwit. A lifetime bird for us. Hopefully it will make it's way into NH.

There are currently THREE Black Simmers in Hampton Harbor at the parking area just south of the Yankee Coop. They’re on the sand along the row of houses that sticks out in the bay.

Thanks to Martha for pointing them out. They began circling around the harbor then flew over us and out to the ocean at 11.
