[Maine-birds] Crested Caracara update -- no reports in afternoon

Unless someone isn't telling, the caracara was not seen after mid-late morning. I know several folks tried and could not find it. This said, the bird could sit for long periods and do that out of sight. There are few vantages in the area.

To repeat, the stretch of route 139 here is unsafe, and no one should pull over to the shoulder and park unless on a pullout designed for that. Reynolds road is okay, but stay to the side as big trucks use this road to reach the compost facility.

As an addendum to the day, a Merlin dined on Buff-breasted Sandpiper for supper around 7 p.m. I saw it happen. So unless a new bird arrives (possible), don't expect that species of shorebird in the area tomorrow.
