Comments: Bruce and I spent some time observing a Coopers Hawk sitting in a tall Red Pine in Agamont Park Bar Harbor. Possible here for the winter months working on Starlings, Pigeons , MODO and or unsuspecting Feeder birds attracted to human feeding stations.
5 species
Common Eider (Somateria mollissima) 9
Cooper's Hawk (Accipiter cooperii) 1 Not sure about sex but good views with bino's and no camera! Gave us some frontal views in the warm sun on a 22 F morning. Bright sunshine lit up her left flank and stretching her wings. We ran off to get the camera, but no luck..she had flown.
Herring Gull (Larus argentatus) 56
American Crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos) 5 one distinctly close to us giving alarm calls
European Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) 5
