New season…

Posted on December 18, 2018 by Pacific Coast Peregrine Watch

Observation date:  12 December 2018

After a long season of no falcons at the rock, yesterday was the turning point. After the two 2018 chicks were run off in September, the adults no longer frequented the rock. I continued to visit the rock every day, morning and afternoon and some days I might catch a glimpse of one or the other passing over the bay, but never landing on the rock. 

As seen through the spotting scope and iPhone

At times, you would see them on the smoke stacks of the power plant, the estuary and around the bay, but yesterday December 11 at 11:11 AM they landed on the rock near the eyrie. The tiercel made a clumsy try at copulation, more of a touch and go. 

Today, December 12, they arrived at 11:12 AM. Both days, they stayed for 3 to 4 hours.

Happy trails, Bob

P.S. I haven’t seen them since. So much for a new season.
