Re: [Maine-birds] Mt. Agamenticus Hawk watch

I stayed at the Hawk watch after Andy and others left around 2:00 pm.  There was a lull for another 2 hours with few birds moving.  I was about ready to leave a little after 4:00 when some kettles (of 32, 65, 47 BWs) starting forming again.  The kettles (one of 150 birds) that Andy reported earlier were setting up mostly from the NW.  By late afternoon the kettles were forming almost directly over the mountain, after birds were seen streaming from the east.
Birds added to Andy's list:

Canada Goose:  6
Broadwings:  183
Osprey:  7
Kestrel:  2
Merlin:  1
Sharp-shinned:  3
Cooper's:  3
N. Harrier:  2
Turkey Vulture:  1
