We’ve been staying close to home for quite a while now, due to Covid-19. Luckily, our home area is pretty nice. Yesterday we got out to the Wilder Ranch coast for a morning walk.
The last couple of times I’ve been out there I’ve seen a Peregrine Falcon and a long-tailed weasel. I was hoping to give Joy a chance to see them, and to get some photos. We got lucky with the peregrine; it turned out to be two adults feeding a juvenile, and we got some good looks. They’re very loud birds, and weren’t hard to find. Although we stayed far away, one of the adults made a couple of threatening passes toward us.
We also saw a few other birds out there, including some sparrows that puzzled us a little. We’re not too sure about the three little birds in the triptych. We’ll try to get some expert advice on those.
We didn’t see the weasel.
