[Maine-birds] Mt Agamenticus - re-post 9/17/16

Sorry about the earlier message done from the summit of Mt A on my IPhone, giving no location :-(. York County Audubon came to support "Eyes Like A Hawk" program by Center for Wildlife at the Learning Lodge Sat morning and I was thinking of Andy and Ken having been there with their scopes.
After they had left, four of us saw 3 high flyers around 3:15pm between the summit and the ocean - huge wings, broad tails, and one with a very distinct white head who flew past the lodge heading south on a stiff,southerly wind, not far from the coast ( say Kittery to the Piscataqua).  We all agreed an adult Bald Eagle. Another had very pointy wings but seemed way too large for a falcon - maybe Osprey? Wished you were there guys.

With hopefully only intermittent showers tomorrow, Mt A Trailfest, free to the community, is still ON!  Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the new universally accessible "Big A" trail at 11:00a.m.  Also, Bird Language hike with Dan Guardoqui, Maine Fish & Game, demonstrations, a whopper Raffle, Food, Live Music, Climbing Wall, Arts & Crafts, vendors, and more. Free Shuttle from the York County Courthouse to the summit. We expect the base and summit parking to fill up early.
