I’ve seen a relatively tame Merlin for three years now, who hunts around The Maine Mall.

Rolled up to work yesterday at 8am and there he is in his favorite tree.

Cheers

Subject: Re: [Maine-birds] Obeds Rock
There were three oystercatchers out on the Upper Green Islands (north of Obeds, east of the mouth of the Royal) this weekend too. We’ve seen them there pretty reliably for a few years now (first pointed out to us a few years back by Derek Lovitch). Beautiful, hard workin’ birds!
