--e0cb4e43d0dd1fd84f0498d1650f Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Allison and I got out for a couple of hours today to do some 2011 birding in Cumberland County and saw some nice raptors. In Port Howe on the Heather's/Cameron's Beach Road we were surprised to see a *Northern Harrier*(juvenile I think) flying over some corn stubble. It eventually came to a perch near Chase's lobster pound. In Linden (almost to Northport) we saw a crow mobbing two hawks over a field; one was an *adult Red-tailed*, the second was a *Rough-legged*. It appeared to be intermediate/light phase. After completing the loop via Shinimicas we spotted a *second Rough-legged Hawk, *this time in Port Howe, again being harassed by a crow. This was a definitely a paler individual - pretty much the textbook light phase example from Sibley. Add a* Bald Eagle* and it was a nice four-raptor winter day. -- Bruce Stevens Maryvale (Roslin for Christmas), NS --e0cb4e43d0dd1fd84f0498d1650f Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Allison and I got out for a couple of hours today to do some 2011 birding i= n Cumberland County and saw some nice raptors.
