Hi all,
I was just looking at the sightings amps on the MOU web site and I noticed that
there have been a couple of sightings of Peregrine Falcons in Dakota County
this winter, and I was wondering where they were seen.
The reason I ask is because this morning while driving through St. Paul Park
(which I realize isn't in Dakota County), near the water tower, I saw a
"strange" raptor, which to me as I was driving, looked to be more
falcon/peregrine like than hawk-like. It seemed to have a helmet and a white
throat. I am 100% certain it was NOT a Red-tailed Hawk, unless it was a form I
have not yet encountered.
I'm not going to count it as anything, but I know that Peregrines have been
seen along 61, I would just like to know where.
I did stop at Point Douglas Park this morning, and all I saw were Canada Geese,
Common Goldeneye, Lesser Scaup, Mallards, and Trumpeter Swans. I thought I saw
some Mergansers, but they either dove or became something else.
At the Lock and Dam in Hastings, I saw a one-legged female Mallard, which made
me real angry, but at this time, I will withold why I was angry.
Good birding,
Richard
