I am thankful for almost another month to get back into the swing of being
up and out for dawn chorus. Fortunately at this time of year we get the
winter visitor starting to sing with the warmer weather.
Late this morning I got out for a short walk at Corporate Woods in Overland
Park. There were plenty of birds with a strong lineup of singing
Yellow-rumped Warblers (Myrtle), Ruby-crowned Kinglets, and a Winter Wren
among the usual local species.
But the headline? Three Peregrine Falcons over the Morton signs of the tall
building — two adults and an immature. This is the first time I’ve seen
them at this location, as they are not common along the Indian Creek Trail.
I guess a reminder should go out for for pigeons, starlings, doves… and the
occasional distracted commuter.....to be wary or potentially be on their
menu
