26th - Watch
out for the Peregrine Falcon! |
| |
This morning
as I arrived at 9AM for my shift, I noticed a raptor
over the colony. As I hurried down the path, I saw
it swooping and then flying away with a chick. This
occurred in the SW corner and it was far away from
me but definitely a Peregrine Falcon. I called Wally
Ross right away and he agreed from my description
that it was a Peregrine. He plans on no action for
the time being as it is late in the season. However
he does want us to document the following info: sex,
age, predation, behavior, etc. As of 11 when I left,
it had not returned.
