The peregrine duo returned this morning, snatching a passerine from out over the water
and brought it to shore. The male peregrine made the grab but there was no exchange while
I watched the birds fly out of sight. Could not ID the prey item.
A single female merlin also visited the sea watch, perching for
a couple of minutes on a nearby spruce tree.
Very sporadic seabird migration today. Calm winds, sunshine. 6:30-8:30.

At Frazer Point just after dawn a lone male RW Blackbird was traveling (loosely) with a dozen A. Robin.
