FIELD NOTES Doug BELL DATE: 20 May 1987 LOCATION: Squaw Rock, Mendocino Co., on Hwy 101, Calif. 15:30 pm - Stopped to take a look at the peregrines. Asked an elderly couple (Baldwin) who were watching the rock how the birds were. They said they heard from Marty Kriener that the nest might have been robbed in the past couple days. The couple had been watching for ca. 3/4 hour - had not seen any feedings. We watched the falcon sitting on a ledge for about 15 min, she e-chirped a couple times - then I saw the tor turn to go soaring off into the heavens - he really circled up & out of sight. The female took off from the ledge, flew about it the rock a couple times, landed on same ledge. She then left again, came in disappeared, then came in to a different ledge, had something in her foot?, but quickly ate it. One or 2 screams - otherwise, no other activity. The falcon then flew up to her original spot. The birds seem to have lost their young - they are falcons without a cause. A red T-shirt is up on the pinnacle. This watch lasted until 4:00 - after that the accident with the old couple coming going off the road occurred - so I couldn't watch the birds anymore, had to help. 16:30 - 18:30 - slow drive down 128 west to Mendocino - saw a couple - 3 cliff separate rock-cliff area that looked good for falcons. 19:00 - Town of Mendocino - Barna Swallows in Town. At the Mendocino Headlands : pelagic cormorants, common loons (2), osprey eaters, pigeon guillemots, white-crowned sparrows, Cassini's auklets (flack 6). Three Phalarope (Northern) seen offshore.
