The Caracara provided some fine looks this morning from about 6:30am to 7:15am sitting on a post behind the farmers house on Rte 2. Marion from Biddeford spotted it with her scope. It wasn't obvious at first with the morning sun and haze. At 7:15 it flew around the fields and landed at the top of a large dead tree at the back of the field on the other (north) side of the road. It was still there when Tom Danielson and I left at about 8:00. The bird was fairly close to some of the cows when it was sitting on the fence post preening. The farmer's son mentioned that the cows came from Texas. Maybe they're making it feel like home.
Also around were 17 or so killdeers, a loud red-tailed hawk, young male rose-breasted grosbeak with interesting color breast, several warblers including yellow-rumped, and a cormorant looking lost flying over the field and wetlands that are part of the Waste Management property. Thanks to Noah for spotting many of these.
