Subject: [leasbirds] Great Black Hawk in Maine
Somehow I missed that an immature Great Black Hawk was seen at South Padre
Island back in April and didn't know anything about it until I read an Audubon
article last week. In case anyone else was oblivious, like me, it appears that
the same hawk is now in Portland, Maine. It was spotted in southern Maine in
August and has been in Portland since late November. Attached are two pictures
from yesterday. It is a beautiful bird! It seems to be doing well and has even
started molting.
