Field Notes D.A. Bell June 10, 1990 1.5 hours until 15:30. Wayne got 2 I'd - some as last year, but the tailed flew in strong winds (a glided over our heads, often stationary) for the whole time. We find again site on well-grown shelf cs. 30' down on other SW facing side of gorge. At least 2 chicks visible, and they are younger than any others so far. This site had 1 chick in 1989. Falcon sat well-screening, she made many close passes in gorge as Wayne went over side @ 16:00. I got good pictures of both ads sitting.
