Field Notes

29 May 1988
site we could see four (!) beautiful brown falcons sitting
in their pothole. The birds were nearly ready to fledge. One
bird had scurpered a bit away from the pothole, but
returned to lie down with a nestmate. 2 birds, each
like statues, sat on either side of the hole, heads following
every sort of curiosity. I guess there are 2 males and
2 females. I know for sure there is at least one male
among the bunch. Only heard screaming once. Watched
the rock for 15 min. Weather mixed, sunny, cool.
Farther south, at Squaw Rock, I saw lots of white-wash,
especially along the ledge that the falcons nested on last
year. But in the time from 17:00-17:20 I did not see
any falcons whatsoever.
