[birding] Finley 9/13

[Lisa Millbank]

Don & I went to Finley on Sunday.  We saw a Peregrine Falcon fly out from the north prairie, and later, on our way back, probably the same falcon flew by again, this time carrying prey.  At McFadden Marsh there were several Wilson's Snipes, Red-shouldered Hawks and Greater Yellowlegs.
In the forest a huge flock of about 30 Band-tailed Pigeons were picking at Oregon Ash seeds.  At least 3 Hairy Woodpeckers were in the forest there too.
Lots of interesting non-bird things (cougar tracks, Cherry Slugs) are posted at http://groups.google.com/group/mid-valley-nature/browse_thread/thread/63032338c06e481c
