The park was productive this morning. In addition to lingering palm warblers (eastern and western) ruby and golden crowned kinglets, savannah, white throated and song sparrows, many eastern bluebirds, we had excellent looks on the landfill of a single Lapland longspur; Cooperative enough for Charlie Roberto to get a photo. Heard some pipits. Saw a beautiful coyote loping on the landfill and finally we had an adult male peregrine falcon perched for not less than 30 minutes along road at end of tent campsites, even fanned tail. No sign of eastern meadowlark or snow buntings that have been seen recently.
