[Erin O'Brien <eobrien1029@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am a grad student over at EKU, working with Gary Ritchison, and I am 
currently doing my field work on Loggerhead Shrikes.  At about 10 this 
morning, I was searching for a second shrike at my Kingston site and I 
flushed the Short-eared Owl that Gary had spotted a couple of weeks 
ago.  Then as I was returning to where my fellow field workers were 
tracking our radioed shrike, I spotted it again flying over a corn field and 
then landing in a tree just on the edge of the field.  A little later, 
about 11:30 while we were trying to trap the other shrike, I saw a hawk 
of sorts emerging from a tree line across the street from us and after 
putting my binoculars up to it, I realized that it was a Peregrine 
Falcon.  We watched it rocket across the field and then around 1 saw it fly 
back.  So all in all it was a pretty good raptor day: a pair of 
Northern Harriers and Kestrels, Red tailed Hawk, Cooper's Hawk, Short-eared 
owl, and a Peregrine.
