Maine! Spot-winged Glider

Spot-winged Glider: Kennebunk Bridle Path, Kennebunk, Maine, USA, September 2024 — Earlier this summer we had more Wandering Gliders than I have ever seen in Southern Maine, patrolling mostly on the back side of the dunes along the seashore, and up the tidal creeks. I was surprised then to see, when I got to processing this shot from a few days ago, that this is a Spot-winged Glider. I have seen a few here over the years, right along this same stretch of trail through the tidal marsh beside the Mousam River, but this is the first one in a while.
