Well, 1 at least. Good late evening my night-owl friends. I was amazed to
hear not one but 2 unexpected calls from the post-storm calmness. First of all,
hearing an all-too-familiar prprprprp, THAT called only once but quite clearly
overhead, an Upland Sandpiper !!!! Then maybe 10 to 15 minutes later,
kkkkkup-up-up, YB cuckoo, which MAJORLY coincides with a sighting of a cuckoo
near Congress and Algoma Streets, much earlier today. Surprised me to the max.
But the premise of this post is to cover the scare I/we had, involving the
heat and the Peregrines. Who got to see the Oshkosh web-cam? For those who
did, were you worried as I was? The chick in the corner looked heat-stricken,
and rather, uhhh, dead (?) But thanks to a reply, Greg, who I wish to publicly
thank, for informing me that Peregrine chicks will lay still during intense
heat, did "come back to life" after a while. I could only breathe a sigh of
relief.. 'Tis
late, so I'm signing off,good birding,
Paul Bruce, Winnebago Co.
