MNWR today and had a falcon sweep-less Gyr. Two young Peregrines and an adult male merlin all sitting on the mud at the new shorebird area. Needless to say shorebirds were hard to find other than the omnipresent yellowlegs. Other than six female shovelers and as few widgeon ducks were Mallard. To

Still there at 10:00. Was out by thruway, but flew towards me about half way. Then it flew into the grasses to the right. Real good looks between dust storms. There have been two peregrines all about. They kept the killdeer up at LaRues. Carol Keeler Sent from my iPhone -- Cayugabirds-L

The cattle egret was still there when I left Benning Marsh at 10:00. It was by the thruway when I arrived, but flew toward me and was much closer, but quickly flew to the grassy area to the left. I often had to wait for the dust clouds to settle to get a decent view. Those trucks fly through t
