| The bird who is very calm for she has a head cover and padded jacket on, is being set on stand for study and banding. |
At the end of October we went on a outing to the Padre Island part of this NWR. We watched a biologist check, band, and release 2 artic perigrines falcons, young females, on their way from the artic where they were born this summer. They rest and hunt here before flying over ocean waters going south for the winter.
