I was cruising through Kittery today, totally unaware that it's annual Septemberfest is in full swing. Other than the carnival atmosphere, I was attracted to this huge sign advertising "Birds of Prey." I am so glad I stopped. It turned out to be "The Raptor Project, " an amazingly large traveling bird show with 15-20 birds of prey just hanging out for your inspection, an artist's paradise! For $10 you can have your picture taken with an owl, which I must admit is much more affordable than one of my paintings. The birds are all rescue animals, and all proceeds go to supporting the project. They are only in town for two more days, but will back for Yarmouth Seaside Festival in October. Given that I was caught without my good camera, I may have to be some sort of bird groupie and catch these guys next time they are around.
