[Maine-birds] Dragon Cement juvie Peregrines - Jul 22

Before jumping on the North Haven ferry, we had some time to stand a watch for the 3 recently fledged Peregrines in No Thomaston, Wed morning. Nothing seen from the plant entrance, but then we hit Weskeag Marsh for 15 minutes and spotted 1 of the young birds cruise through and over the marsh, before perching in a high pine tree betw the marsh and the meadow where Rough-legs are often seen.

I must say, this bugger doesn't really display the flight skills of older birds. In fact, we were unsure of its heritage until we finally saw its orange-ish face.
