The Maine Birds listserv reports that the Great Black Hawk had an altercation with a Red-tailed Hawk around 12 noon today and left the park, flying SSW. It did not return to roost at the park. Perhaps on its way to CT?

Gary and I saw the first altercation this morning at 9:30 this morning. It was an immature Red-tailed Hawk. So I would not have thought it was territorial. I guess it happened again after we left. The red-tailed hawk, attacked the Great Black Hawk and they locked talons and tumbled 25 feet out of the spruce trees to the ground. I thought at the time that was the end of the Great Black Hawk, but it was able to fly away...as did the red-tailed hawk.
The Great Black Hawk was feeding on a squirrel very early this morning. I have 22 in my yard that I would offer up to sustain it.

When my husband and I saw it on Saturday it was happily eating a pigeon it
had just taken from a Cooper's Hawk. It seems to have good skills for
coping with other hawks, good hunting skills and it has already survived
two periods of temps in the teens. Its GPS is a little skewed but here's
hoping it's heading south now. There have been no sightings so far this
morning.

The Great Black Hawk has been relocated at the middle school near the park in Portland, ME this afternoon.
