[Maine-birds] Information about using the path at Flying Point Preserve to see the eagle.

From the reports, it seems as though some birders have been able to get a closer look at the Steller's eagle by using the path in FPP up the river from the bridge.

Is that true or is the bird about equal distance from this viewing area as it is from the bridge?

Could someone who has walked that path please describe the condition and/or challenges of the path out to the viewing area.

Easy walking? 

Muddy needing boots? 

Smooth footing to rough going? 

Narrow or wide foot area  (maybe needing a walking stick for those not so agile)?  

I think I recall someone mentioning to avoid the area at high tide because of one low area that could present a problem?  Is that correct?

How far can one drive in on what looks like a narrow road?

Is the road wide enough to pass someone going the other way?  I am sure there is a lot of traffic on it.

Is the path well marked so one can easily find it and their way to the marsh area where folks have been viewing the bird?

Any other information that would help folks decide if trying to view the bird from that area would be doable for them?  

Thanks in advance for answers to my many questions.

Happy birding,

Marie
