This Peregrine Falcon was apparently enjoying the sun in Gualala as he perched in one spot for quite a while. Shari Goforth was there with her camera in hand.

I haven't had any reports of nesting Peregrines...yet! Peregrine Falcons are strong and fast fliers. They prey on smaller birds. In their swooping dive from above, they can reach speeds of up to 200 mph!

To hear their call, here is a link to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Peregrine_Falcon/sounds

Thanks to Shari for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

It was cold overnight, but today has a bright blue sky, and temps in the low 60s. There is some rain in our forecast, and I hope it manifests!
