[Maine-birds] buff-belly

Yikes! We discovered a Golden Plover that we told about to another birder
one time. He asked about the sex and we said it was an adult female. He said
he saw it caught by a peregrine who had his lunch. There was also the famous
video of a white-faced glossy ibis on Plum Island drowned by a peregrine and
eaten, in full view of about 40 school kids a few years ago. I think you can
still find it on YouTube. Mother Nature rules.

Subject: [Maine-birds] Crested Caracara update -- no reports in afternoon

Unless someone isn't telling, the caracara was not seen after mid-late
morning. I know several folks tried and could not find it. This said, the
bird could sit for long periods and do that out of sight. There are few
vantages in the area.

To repeat, the stretch of route 139 here is unsafe, and no one should pull
over to the shoulder and park unless on a pullout designed for that.
Reynolds road is okay, but stay to the side as big trucks use this road to
reach the compost facility.

As an addendum to the day, a Merlin dined on Buff-breasted Sandpiper for
supper around 7 p.m. I saw it happen. So unless a new bird arrives
(possible), don't expect that species of shorebird in the area tomorrow.
