7. Cade 1958 Falco rusticolus 22 August - cont - hovered over her and me for several seconds and then flew to a nearby hillcock to sit. It came back over us several times - quite bold and showing no fear. She was obviously attracted by the actions of my sleean and possibly also by the swinging flues. She finally flew off and perched about a greater mile away. Later while my eyes was tithered to her perch in front of the Jamesvery, the gyv stooped over her once very close. She came in for a second stoop and I shot at her but missed. She then flew off and perched on a mooraine across the lake. September Meade River Coalmine - a juvenile male was seen at 10 45 flying around the air strip and over the millogs. It was accompanied by a milling flock of about 80 red polls which kept cycling depart above the falcon. Whenever he tried to rise above them the immediate flitted up higher. I be kept on dawn river and out of right. I be came within 20 yds of the warri gan over - close enough to me the gray colored flat and cue. September Meade R. - just 77 seen again at 1045 around ARL warri gan - red polls again flocking around him.
