Title: Falcon Watch - Sunday 8/9 after the rain Post by: Joyce on 10-Aug-09, 01:15:18 PM Sunday 8/9 after the rain, I (+ Casey) checked downtown. Went all over and saw no falcons. Went to the bridge to check the gorge wall and while I had my binoculars to my face, I caught this flapping bird coming towards me. I had no camera in hand, so I keep watching with the binocs. It flew overhead and I could see the peregrine markings on the face. It headed NE past the brewery.
I got in my car, went up St Paul, and stopped near Hart street (where a nestbox is located). No falcons, but a nice red-tail soaring. Maybe the falcon was going after the red-tail. Picked Up Dawn & Bullet and went to Kodak Park. Ran into Carol P and Dana. Carol just got through taking some pics of a red-tail in a tree. She hadn't seen any falcons downtown earlier in the day, and nothing at KP. Dan showed up and we checked out the back side of Kodak. No Mariah, no juvie. |
