While birding at Goose Rocks Beach in Kennebunk, I observed Cooper's Hawk sitting on one of those railings for stairs that lead to the beach. As I
looked at it with my bins, it hopped down on to the rocks and then hopped under the stairs. I could see it in there while looking through the steps at a
distance of about fifty feet. After about five minutes, it came out and hopped back up to the top of the rocks. Then it went down into the spaces
between the rocks and emerged from between some large rocks by the sand. This continued for quite a while. It would go down into the rocks and
then pop out a few feet further down the row of rocks.
Has anyone observed this? Was it hunting for rodents? Ideas?
Also saw many seals fishing about 100 feet off the beach.
