Sorry for the belated post. Thought I'd let you all know, I saw a Peregrine at Queen's Bluff last Wed., March 3rd. I confess I don't spend a lot of time here. It is on my commute (Hwy 61, mile marker 13, about 12 miles south of Winona), and I am usually in a hurry to get to work or from work, but I usually check the snag coming out from the cliff face, and Mar. 3rd was the 1st day I had seen a Peregrine here since last fall.
Dedrick Benz Winona, MN PS Got to see the Smew. Before I even knew half the birds of Minnesota, I was a Russian Major, and focused on the Smew in the Birds of the USSR field guide as one I REALLY wanted to see, so that bird goes down as my favorite escapee - maybe I'll make it back to Russia one day and find a wild one, but my avian heart right now lies in Costa Rica, where I'm going in a month.
