Field Notes Doug Bell Mendocino Co., Humboldt Co., Calif. April 8, 1989 Berkeley, CA -> So. Humboldt Co., CA. Left Berkeley at about 12:30. Very hot day - 80°. Arrived at Squaw Rock, Mendocino Co. 14:30. Hot sunny. The new road out of Cloverdale ends approx. 1 mile so. of Squaw Rock. Met a fellow from S.F. - Mr. Nick Wheeler - who was watching the rock for peregrines. He said he had just seen the male come scooting by out of the math. The falcon (♀) came off the rock, screaming. He met the turel, then flew up to an old Red-tail stick nest at the upper left section of the cliff. The turel peregrine flew off south down the Russian River. Meanwhile, Mr. Wheeler could not tell if the falcon had laid down in the stick nest, or flown off elsewhere on the cliff. At any rate, there was no food transfer. I watched the rock for about 20 min, then had to go. Did not see any falcons - but there were several spots with lots of whitewash - mostly perching spots. The long shelf about 43 up its main face appears to be shorter in length. Some whitewash visible off to the right of some piled up flat rocks. Did Monte's group put the rocks there for shelf improvement? The ravena nest is active again - saw at least & one bird on the nest - coal black, eyes blinking. The nest has grown in depth - the birds might be running out of building space! Russian River looked healthy - foamy light green. Arrived in Garberville at around 17:10. Very hot. Brown's Sporting Goods has a Barretta 12-g. side-by-side for $299. Looks in good shape. Arrived at the Bueiland Peregrine cage by 17:30. Nice
