[Maine-birds] Peregrine

Got up this a.m. & looked in back yard at the public works radio tower, saw a large unusually shaped bird (I'm used to the starlings & crowd perched there). Grabbed my binoculars just to be sure and could clearly see it was a peregrine. As I scrambled for my camera, it flew... I understand that they nest under the Casco Bay Bridge, but have never happened to have seen them there (& havent sought them out). But what an honor to have such a visitor in my urban back yard! Made my morning!!
