back in action

After being out of action for a few days, I spent an abbreviated morning walking around the place. Because of the very high tide, many of the marshside trails were under water but some creek watching paid off when a small flock of Royal Terns was followed by two raptors streaking across the creek: a dark narrow-winged falcon (a Merlin for sure) and a small broadwinged accipiter (Sharp-shinned Hawk). Only a few land birds including Red-eyed Vireo and White-breasted Nuthatch.
