June 10, 2019

It was a foggy morning, and while the falcons were flying, it was difficult to see much of what was going on.

The sun was out for a while this afternoon, but turned partly cloudy by the time I got to the beach. All three juveniles came out dogfighting for a while.

A sunny day to close out my season. Someone propped up some driftwood and it made for a nice osprey perch. The juvenile falcons chased it around between meals.
