[Maine-birds] thee raptor species lately in Gardiner

Carol's post reminded me that I have seen Sharp-shinned Hawk, Cooper's Hawk, and a Peregrine Falcon all within a half mile of downtown Gardiner over the last few days. The pigeons must be getting exhausted as they are flying up so regularly throughout the day. This morning a Cooper's Hawk tried a stealth move by coming in low over the Subway/Dunkin Donut's building but the pigeons spotted her (I say "her" based on its large size) and wheeled up to look down on her from above.
