[Maine-birds] Camden fireworks

Hi,


While awaiting the start of the 9pm Camden Harbor fireworks last evening, I watched 4 chimney swifts as they twittered overhead. Around 8:35 pm a peregrine arrived overhead and gave chase. The falcon appeared to snag a swift and then proceed to the high construction staging around Chestnut Street Church - the steeple structure currently being replaced there is a long-favored loafing and feeding perch. I had not seen a peregrine hunt so late in the day.
