Whimbrel report - Flat Bay, Milbridge

[Merle and Anne Archie]

Eighty-eight Whimbrel at the morning low tide and 127 this evening.  The hazy humid light makes the evening counts difficult as the birds are at least a half mile away and Merle is looking west from our side of the bay.

The usual compadres were feeding on the exposed sandbars - dowitchers, yellowlegs, peeps, Common Terns (lots of these), Laughing/Ring-billed/Herring Gulls.
