Hi Texbirders, I was surprised at about 3 this afternoon to spot a juvenile Peregrine Falcon soaring over north-central Austin, south of Hwy 183 and between MoPac and Burnet Rd. I was doing chores, but was able to grab my camera and get a few decent photos of the bird, which was heavily streaked below and had a narrowish moustachial stripe. The flight feathers appear very neat but a few of the tail feathers are a bit ratty, which is the only thing that makes it look other than a hatch-year bird. The Austin checklist shows only two previous June records for the species. Photos will follow soon on the Flickr page. Good birding ya'll, Byron Stone, Austin Edit your Freelists account settings for TEXBIRDS at //www.freelists.org/list/texbirds Reposting of traffic from TEXBIRDS is prohibited without seeking permission from the List Owner
