December 22,, 2013:
During the day, the hawks and falcons were set out to weather at the beach after my husband arrived. We both saw the native peregrine sitting on the hurricane shutter of the adjacent residence by the hotel. The peregrine is a male, and looks like it is in immature plumage. The falcon sat there for at least 3 hours. I have a 20 power monocular that I was happy to show the hotel guests and employees the peregrine that lives on the key. I took some photos of the peregrine, while the hawks and falcons relaxed prior to their flight patrols in the evening. My assistant arrived and we got things ready. Grackles have now moved to the residences nearest the mainland on the key. The hawks were directed to the area and were flown from tree to post. The grackles were moved around and they were went to the trees along the sea wall. We had to be careful that the hawks did not fly across the harbor to the mainland, which would be a real time-consuming walk and recovery of the errant hawk(s). The grackles did shift around and we met the manager of the residence. She is very happy to have us here and took photos of the hawks in action. We shall return!!!
