Hi Peter,
today was my first walk leading Tues as i was away last week. we didn't have the fallout we were expecting, but a great group w/ sharp eyes made it all fun. our highlights were a Peregrine high up in a tree dissecting a pigeon along wellhouse and a super-active BTG warber chasing moths down to the ground and back up into the trees. he finally caught one and we all spent a good 5 minutes watching him beat it until the wings fell off, then gorging on the body. Here's a photo from Radka at the moment of the kill. so i guess today's theme was Circle of Life???
best,
Bobbi
