June 4, 1986: Morning, packing up and leaving Pam &
Todds' house at the ranch.
10:00am- @ Goat Rock, mostly sunny, fog breaking on
surrounding ridge, SE wind. Goat Rock is bathed in
sun. Hear quail, meadowlarks, lazuli buntings, young
red-tail hawks begging. No sign of any perquaries on
the rock. On road down from ranch saw 2 seperate
Blue Grouse, one flew from road down 70 yds to trees,
another we saw eating spruce buds in tree.
11:05am- at Cliffs on road sw. Buciland/Redway. Heard
young peregrine screaming. Looked about 1 min, saw one
inm by first sitting, then lying on top of cliff face.
Then saw 2 more young sitting in pothole, finally 1
more on small oak pinnacle next to pot hole. So total
of 4 young visible, 3 in pothole, 1 on top of cliff. 3 of
the young look like they could fly, one seems to be still
younger and has shot tail some down on head.
