Peregrine Falcon in St. Louis County
2017-05-06

Uncommon in St. Louis County in the Spring season

Peregrine Falcon in a Tamarack in the Sax-Zim Bog found during our night program, Things that Go Buzz, Croak, Hoot & Bump in the Night. This is a rarely seen bird in the Bog. This is my first in 35 years of birding Sax-Zim. Likely a juvenile molting into adult plumage...Note brown and blue-gray back feathers.
