FIELD NOTES DOUG BELL June 6 1986 at Weott visiting John & Dusty Knight. John took Mara and I to the cliffs on the Eel River at Holmes (Humboldt Co.). We observed the cliffs from about 14:00-15:00. As soon as we arrived we heard wailing of a peregrine. Then saw a falcon fly in to the base of a tree on sheer face of left-hand cliff. Ka-chuck, ka-chuck heard. The falcon then flew from here to a branch snag to left of the tree. Sat there for at least an hour. Adult female S. After 48 minutes a falcon (ad j) flew out from the base of the tree and began soaring up. Went slowly up ca. 800 ft, circling. Didn't bother cultures or osprey also soaring around this stretch of the river. She then did a long slow steep and across the sky and landed in a tall dead snag way atop the cliff bank. It seems the S had transported food to the J at base of tree on cliff. She might have eaten, then soared out. Doesn't seem as if the have young. We left w both birds sitting on cliff & & snags. Trucks & tractors graveling going on at river below. Eel River
