Hi. My son and I were planning on heading to Georgetown but we will take Popham Beach. We will report it as soon as we find it!

Good Evening,
As the Maine Birding community knows by now, the Steller's Sea Eagle that has appeared in Texas, Alaska, Nova Scotia and Massachusetts was photographed this afternoon near the Five Islands Lobster Pound in Georgetown. It had flown by the time birders began to arrive around 3:30.
The bird appears to be move north along the coast (but it of course may back track) and we're pretty certain we won't be the only birders searching in the morning. The purpose of this e-mail is to put some structure into the search.
We're planning to be searching the Boothbay/East Boothbay areas.
Jeff Cherry and Andy Brand are working Pemiquid Point up to Great Salt Bay.
Other areas that might be worth checking out:
• Bath Landfill and Bath Waterfront
• Popham Beach
• Hermit Island
• Reid State Park
• Bailey Island
• Mere Point
• New Harbor
• Wiscasset/Westport
• A dozen places I haven't thought about
So if you're interested in helping with the search . . . grab an area and reply all to this e-mail. Obviously multiple birders can check the same area.
It tends to associate with Bald Eagles and seems to rest in trees for long periods of time before moving on.
Thanks,
