Field Notes D.A. Bell 8 June 1990 very close to us, but she was well-blocked by branches. Head has wide light area above eye, some small flecks in white ear patch. I'm struck by Peals' wide & long malars, plus fact that their crown & back colors don't show a lot of diff in shade. Malars + crown tend to show light flicking. Whole bird gives appearance of lighter slate-gray (vs. Calif., where birds appear slate-black). Lower flanks feathers have wide horizontal lines (or flattened chevrons), perhaps ½ cm wide, that become more straight and thin horizontal as you go up the breast. 12:38 - Tuiral shot in food from W, falcon flew out, landed in close tree, tuirol landed on snag. Falcon's are faded yellow, feet yellower, but still pale. No lands on tuired. He looks "cleaner"- uniform back & head. Ear patch also slightly covered of light gray /pattern at ear. 12:46 - Tuiral launched off, went W, returned to a tree on E side gully 12:50: off tree, made wind in front of gully (wood + grasty) back & forth in front of us, then moved up E gully side out of view. 12:50 - falcon still in close tree. 13:10- we came off high dr. port, back to rocky shore. At's lunch, saw an eagle fly by, hen went out & closed it. We tried making noise, she came out to fly quietly, overs around us 13:50 - Landed on snag top. Heat view. Peals really have wide horizontal lines on flanks, becoming thinner as you go up. The breast, has tear-drop shaped flecks, well defined usually, and the belly has lighter horizontal lines, as on the flanks, but lighter. This falcon has nice thin pencil-marks over most of bit. 14:15 - falcon left snag soared around E gully, then back to land high in tree.
