Field Notes D.A. Bell May 20, 1990 Departed Berkeley about 12:30. Arrived at Squaw Rock, Mendocino Co. (Highway 101; 10 mi S Hopland) ca. 14:30. Observed rock for about 15 min. Didn't see any Peregrine Falcons, but the rock looked like it had birds in residence - lots of white-wash. The next ledge looked promising - also w/ lots of whitewash. The raven's nest has at least 2 newly-fledged young in it. Arrived at Holms, Ho. Co. about 20:15. Along Eel River. Set up scope on the Peregrine cliff. After ca. 5 min. heard screaming of a young bird! Then saw a fledgling fly across cliff face and land behind isolated clump of pines on cliff. Gorgeous brown. Roughly 3 min. later saw ad. tiercel come in high over cliff, - cutting a wedge across the sky. He soon landed on a high snag, then launched off again and went into vertical stop. Disappeared behind trees, but came out low over the Eel R., then flew up to a fir and settled on a horizontal branch. He plucked and ate a small passerine. Beautiful tiercel - very clean, white breast & fine black markings. Black head, white throat, thick cap. Spent night in Arcata, CA. May 21, 1990 Drove from Arcata Co. to Newport, OR, along 101. Heavy rains in OR! May 22, 1990 Drove from Newport, OR to Clallam Bay, WA. Weather clear. Sable at Cannon Beach, OR on nests.
