Faleo peregrines
30 June-Urriot
♀ falcon once flew in very close along the
face of the cliff and struck this vower as
it was sitting, knocking it a couple of feet.
The vower "froge" in some brush after
this attack.
Also while we were there, a strong
Peregrine - I think - came over while
the residents were engaged with the vowers.
The resident → immediately went in
pursuit and grappled the other's feet at
least once, causing it to scream. He
chased it down river ca ½ mile before
turning back. The intruder went on down
river.
1 July , Colville River - a ♀ was seen on Starfish
Bluff. A pair was also seen flying over
some bluffs on the lower Oolamnagorik.
7 July
