Falco rusticole
September Uniat, Alaska
A very large (?) dark individual—
juvenile?—flew around the radio
shack and out over the air field in the
late morning. It appeared to be
hunting and showed some interest in
the movements of the dog around camp.
It came in close—ca 30 yds—to the
radio hut several times and once
started to land on a nearby pole.
It finally flew off leisurely toward
Chyliat Mountain—alternately flapping
and soaring like a butte.
