I have a whole video on this on my Youtube Channel (including hunting Peregrines) for those who are interested and can’t see it in person. It’s an amazing sight and worth going to see.
It is Sandpiper Season again for the falcons down the bay. Steve said he loves the murmurations the falcons force the pipers into. I have thrown in some falcon art as well.
