Falcon Watch - Sunday 8/9 after the rain

[Joyce]

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.
