[Maine-birds] FW: eBird Report - Totman Cove, Phippsburg, Aug 24, 2013

photos of peregrine attack of laughing gull here. Today, the 25th, an adult Bald Eagle appeared again as did the peregrine. They just flew over without fanfare like yesterday. It is our anniversary today, so we were honored to be graced with their presence alone, no drama of one trying to kill the other. That seemed quite fitting. Tonight's anniversary dinner was steamers, lobster and new potatoes. RRR
