Sunny warm afternoon on the Seacoast

[Bruce Conti]

Enjoyed a warm sunny afternoon on the Seacoast.  All the beaches were relatively crowded, and plenty of people walking along the shore.  Stopped at Rye Harbor for a half hour, then a couple hours hiking in Odiorne Point.  Highlights were two Killdeer at Rye, and six Long-Tailed Duck in flight at Odiorne.  Thanks to Josh Fecteau and Russ Brummer here in nhbirds for help identifying the Long-Tailed Ducks.  Also observed a banded Herring Gull at Odiorne, left 35H Green, right silver.
