Field Notes
Doug Bell
April 4, 1988
On my way up to the Phelps Ranch in southern Humboldt County, Calif., to observe the Peregrines. Left Berkeley at 3:00 pm. Arrived at Squaw Rock at 5:00 pm. Watched for 10 min., no sign of falcons. Continued on. Arrived at Ron & Todd’s hawks at 7:45 pm. Good timing!
Side Note: Morty Kinner observed Squaw Rock on April 5, 1988. Saw food exchanges & incubation in progress.
PS - I saw the Raver’s incubating - just as I did last week when at Squaw Rock.
