FIELD NOTES Doug Bell June 28, 1986. Spent the night in a motel in Crescent City, CA. While turning off south-bound US 101 just as it curves sharply at the south end of Crescent City, Maren spotted a fresh, but dead, Cassins Auklet lying on the street, below a large neon sign. We collected the Auklet (VAB 114)-it's in good shape, has a few lice. We headed south, picking up gulls from freezers in Crescent City, Trinidad HSU Marine Lab, and HSU Wildlife Dept. Also stopped in at John & Dusty's in Weed. Next stop was at the Hopland Brewery, where the bartender told us that Peregrines are nesting on Squaw Rock, in so. Mendocino Co., just on 101. We stopped at this beautiful rock from 20:20 to 20:50. At first we saw what I thought was just a Kestrel soaring above the rock. Then Maren pointed out an adult Peregrine (♂) sitting way up, so that only his upper breast & head were visible in the rock. He sat at one spot for 10min, then flew across the rock to the middle of it and disappeared on a large flat fissure (ledge). We were then treated to several short, but sweet views of an imm peregrine (also ♂), as it soared about the very top of the rock, darting with the wind to and fro. It was a great sight to end our field trip!
