This morning I got up around 7:30am got ready and left to go birding. My plan was to go down to the park then go to the turnaround then up to the lake then go home.
I went down to the park and it was a really low tide. I walked out on to the beach and walked along the shore line. I saw a lot of black turnstones and rock sandpipers. along with a few other shore birds. There were a few gulls down there but nothing other then at. I then worked my over to back beach and looked around there. I saw a few greater yellow legs and few dowitchers. I walked up the road to the lake but I did not see very much there.I then walked up to the turnaround but did not see any birds there. I stopped by the store on my way home and got something to eat and drink since I was hungry and a little thirsty.
Once I got home I did a few things the went out birding again with dad and the same person as last time. We went around the park. I saw some black bellied plovers a few more gulls and about the same number of black turnstones. While we were out on the tide flats though we saw a peregrine falcon fly and catch some thing but the crows and ravens that chased it made the falcon drop what ever it had caught. It flew around over headed of us so that I could get some photos of then flew back into the forest. A few minutes later it came back out and tried again but this time it did not get anything. It flew back over the trees again and was gone.
After that we went to thimbleberry lake and looked around all we saw were some rufous hummingbirds, a hermit thrush and a trumpeter swan.
We then went out to the kimsham ball fields but did not see any birds other. Then we went out to the golf course and saw the killdeer again but did not really see anything else unusual. We went out to the airport but did not see the bluebird. We went home after that.
- Question where did the bluebird go?
- Question what did the falcon have?
- Question why is there still a swan on timbleberry lake?
Peregrine Falcon
