<DIV>Greetings!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Saw perigrine falcons testing their wings this evening (Sun ~6pm).
Observed two birds but heard three. One was screaming loudly; that's the
one that did the flying. Another one was content to just sit it out on a
crossbar. This was at Fort Snelling State Park, under the 494 bridge
where it crosses the Minnesota River. I entered the park on the Mendota
side. This entrance is behind the historic area of Mendota where the
Henry Sibley, Fairbault, etc houses are. I just parked parallel to the
railroad tracks. The trail I was on paralells the MN river and is directly
across the river from Pike Island so I imagine you'd be able to see them from
Pike Island as well. </DIV>
<DIV>On the same trail I observed an Indigo Bunting, Eastern Wood Peewee, Great
Blue Heron, and the other usual suspects such as Northhern Cardinal, Am Robin,
Am Goldfinch and the like. </DIV>
<DIV> It was a great hike!</DIV>
