We've got a few up here on the Merrimac, next time any of you are on their way up to NH or ME on 95 check near the bridge that goes over the river just after the Newburyport exit. They have been hanging out in the trees by the river for quite a few years now. Only problem is once they start frequenting an area Uncle sam has a habit of labeling anywhere they go "nesting habitat" and all of a sudden its near impossible to do anything w/ your land. I have a side job on a farm not too far from this bridge and we cannot cut any trees down w/out having an official come down and approve that what we are going to take down is not "habitat". That being said, they are definately beautiful birds. (I had to rant for a bit)
