Hi,

Went to Mt. A. for a hawk watch and had a pretty good showing, BUT the
big treat of the day was 6 SANDHILL CRANES that flew by at 10:20 AM.
The list is below with comments, photos of SANDHILL CRANES

Mt. Agamenticus, York, York, Maine, US
Apr 3, 2017 9:40 AM - 1:10 PM
Protocol: Stationary
Comments: Hawk watch, clear skies, temp 44 to 50 degrees, wind light
breeze, after 11:45 wind picked up to 10 to 20 MPH. from the west. The
frustration of spring hawk watch is the hawks migrate a long ways away from
the mountain, at least for the last 3 years I have been up there.

Canada Goose 100
Great Blue Heron 3
Turkey Vulture 11 at least 5 were local birds
Northern Harrier 3

crown, humped back, small head, bill, and thinner neck compared to GBHE,,
