[Maine-birds] Biddeford: Peregrine Falcon ("Feisty") and continuing Marbled Godwit...

Hi all,

On Monday morning, I photographed a Peregrine Falcon at the Basket Island Causeway at Hills Beach in Biddeford. I and seemingly all the birds in the area were oblivious to the falcon until he pinned a Black-bellied Plover to the sand.

After consulting with Charlie Todd (MDIFW), I learned that this bird has been a Mainer for nearly 8 years and many peregrinecam fans know him as "Feisty".

To learn some of Feisty's story (including injury and recovery), see this slide show by Avian Haven: http://www.avianhaven.org/ahs2011_feistys_story.pdf

Also, the Marbled Godwit was still present on Monday morning. Photos of both birds are here: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S32650288

Wildly,
Josh
