[Maine-birds] Dyer Pt, Cape Eliz late afternoon

Hi all -- The perennial Harlequins are on station at Dyer Point. In today's strong onshore winds, high tide, and significant chop, I was only able to pick out 5 of 'em. Also 4 N. Gannets and 3 Ww Scoters flew by. Around the white-washed brick building there were 2 White-crowned Sparrows, 2 Song Sparrows and a few juncos.At Pond Cove (also in Cape Eliz) I found an offshore R-t Loon in my scope while a Carolina Wren trilled behind...

[Maine-birds] Sandy Point Morning Flight, 10/31.

Hi all,A light flight passed over and through Sandy Point Beach, Cousin's Island, Yarmouth this morning. There was nice diversity for the late date, and the dawn was crisp but very pleasant.

[Maine-birds] Not Great Black Hawk

Thanks to all for replies to my request for ID help. I am now certain the bird I saw was NOT the Black Hawk. Most likely a juvenile eagle. Good luck to other birders!

[Maine-birds] Great Black Hawk ID?

I just had a not great view of a raptor soaring high over area where GRBH was seen this am. Long all dark wings and darkish tail. Looked like lots of whitish in chest but rest of body mottled dark. There was also some white in rump area but too high to tell where. Can't rule out other raptors. Does anyone have a photo of the bird soaring? Does my description rule it out?
