The following is an article written by Jeanne Jackson for her blog Mendonoma Sightings where she documents the wildlife, the land, and the waters of our coast.
Rozanne Rapozo was at Gualala Point Regional Park when she noticed this young Peregrine Falcon landing on the log. Looks like this fledgling has just begun his/her flying lessons.
There were two more fledgling falcons that were “play” fighting.
Welcome, young Peregrine Falcons!
Thanks to Rozanne for allowing me to share her photos with you here.
We had more blessed rain this morning. The total from Monday and this morning’s rain is 0.34 inches, so a nice third of an inch. As I type this at 3:21 pm, the fog is rolling in. You never know what the weather is going to be like! The forecast is for sunny and warmer days ahead.
