First Time at Niquette Bay
Field Journal #6
4/16 2:00-3:30
71 F Sunny
Inland forest and lake shore forest.
When I spotted two turkey vultures soaring above with a third, white bird with high-speed looking wings. After some research I determined it looked like a tern from below but it was only a bit smaller than the vultures. Definitely could've been a Peregrine Falcon, but I didn't think it would be out over the parking area away from cliffs or rock habitats. It could have been tracking the same prey as the vultures.

A pair was spotted far away inverting in the bay looking for food underwater.
Did not hear any calls surprisingly.

One female individual, drumming softly.
Was not spooked by our presence.
I felt that the beak was long enough in relation to head to determine it was hairy, not downy.
