No new birds today. In all of our trips up here there are always a few days — usually in the middle — when we don’t get anything new. This is that stretch of days. We are hoping that the westerly winds that started yesterday will blow something in.<\/p>\n

We saw at least two — maybe three — Peregrines today.<\/p>\n

Come on, west winds!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
