I found the big Peregrine again sitting on the Dacus Sandbar. This bird has  
been around the area all winter. Today, about a hundred yards away, I saw  
another smaller (male?) busy stripping and eating a hearty breakfast. When the  
smaller bird finished and cleaned up, it took to the air and flew straight over 
 the other bird swooped down but it did not appear to be anything other than 
just  a greeting as the other bird took little notice. Me thinks there is 
romance  in the air on the Mississippi. These birds can have their pick of any 
of 
our  bridges and all the Rock Pigeons they can eat.
 
The lone White Pelican with the bad wing that has been hanging around the  
river front was seen on McKellar Lake. This bird can fly but seems to be good  
for short distances only.
 
Good Birding  !!!
