Ogunquit, Beautiful Place by the Sea

My sister and I spent the day in Ogunquit, Maine, and what a gorgeous day it was!  Here are the highlights from the few birds we saw.  I apologize in advance for not being certain about any of the identities.  I have no expertise in shore or sea birds at all.  My sister thought you might still like the photos, regardless of my uncertainty about what they were.
