The wind started out ESE and switched to SE at noon. Most of the falcon arrives between 3:00 and 5:00. Two Merlins spent some time in an aerial disagreement and one of the Peregrine Falcons decided it didn’t like the Great Blue Herons standing along the bay edge and swooped down to run them off. Why? Because they can!
