We have some slow days. We occasionally have a skunk day. And sometimes we wonder why we do this. Then we have a day that reminds us why.
Thursday was a day where perserverance paid off as Sue and Dalene banded the first Peregrine Falcon of the season. Humility was rewarded! It was still quite windy and the day seemd slow, but all that is forgotten when you have a Peregrine in hand. We also had a close encounter with a Merlin and a Prairie Falcon.
The total for the day was 7, for a season total of 83. Helping on the ridge Thursday were Barbara & Roger Johnson, Mary Rawlins, and Andrea Warner.
