Rarely seen hawk appears again, this time at Deering Oaks park in Portland

https://www.pressherald.com/2018/11/29/rarely-seen-hawk-appears-again-this-time-near-downtown-portland/

A great black hawk that’s native to Central and South America appears to be settling in for a Maine winter, giving birders another glimpse Thursday in Portland’s Deering Oaks park.

The bird was first seen in Maine in August, when it lured excited bird watchers to Biddeford from as far away as New York because it was so unusual to see one in this part of the world.

The same bird observed Aug. 6 in Biddeford was seen prowling the Eastern Promenade in Portland in late October, according to Maine Audubon.

On Thursday, it was entertaining onlookers at Deering Oaks.
