FIELD NOTES Doug Bell Humboldt County, Calif. March 27, 1988- cont. it out to try to reach pothole Z, where the S had been seen sitting yesterday. After doing that we scrambled back over the top of the rock and made our way around to the front to check on the length of the rope. As we proceeded through the trees at the base of the rock, the falcons would mail a bit, but they seemed somewhat confused about where we were going. We managed to make it all the way up it to just below snag C), and got some great views of both flying and sitting. The female flew up to the snag & sat in it, looking around. She didn't see us right away. But once we were clearly visible both S & F began the heb-heb-kek alariming. We were pt pretty close to pothole Z. as we went back along the face under pothole D), they again did some heb-hebing. They continued mailing till we got around the rock face. When we reappeared atop the rock they began mailing again, flying out over the expanse of the area in front of the rock. Unbelievably beautiful! Heavy stops with the wind+ against it, also
