Hi Birders
Yesterday, Jan. 31,. I took a walk up  Rock Canyon at about 10 AM.  I was
sitting in my car facing north and noticed Magpies diving at a "rock" up
high.  With my glass eyes I could see the object of their actions.  They
were mobbing a Prarie Falcon.  The Falcon would move from place to place
only to be mobbed again.  I observed this action for about 20 minutes
then it soared out of sight.  I continued up the canyon.  There were many
Sterllar Jays, a few Shrub Jays and Magpies everywhere.  I heard Chuckars
from three different locations.  

As I approached the parking lot, on my return, I noticed the Falcon
again.  After a few minutes a few people gathered around to see what was
so interesting.  I shared my observations with them as they used my
binoculars to see the Falcon   It was fun to share.
Good Birding
Reed
