[Maine-birds] Bath Landfill - Fri evening

Stood a watch at the landfill at dusk (right up until they started to close the gate) and hid out under the tall trees where Bald Eagles usually roost.  The cat stopped work with about 25 min to go, so the pile was left to gulls and eagles alone. 

No Golden Eagle present.  But watched an adult Bald Eagle give chase to a Herring Gull, at high altitude and at high speed.  Went on for a few minutes, generally in a circle, then out toward the Kennebec.  Eagle got close, but no contact.  Have no idea why this one particular gull was singled out. 

The Golden Eagle may be diversifying (if still around).  One of us should scope from the gate at dawn (before any activity on the pile).   Also pay more attention to the Kennebec ice floes.
