Sorry for the late posting, our service was out again for 2 days (does it mean something when you know the names of your repairmans' childrens' 1st names?). On Saturday, 4/10/04, after Bob Reiling's fantastic trip, Richard and I went to San Felipe Lake and found 3 birds of interest. The SANDHILL CRANE was still feeding in the grasses at the back of the lake (scope only). A PRAIRIE FALCON flew overhead twice, it's black armpits obvious while it pumped its' pointy wings in a muscular fashion. Lastly, a probable FERRUGINOUS HAWK was hunting behind and next to the lake (left side - visible from the third pull-out). It had a tannish colored head on a large darker body, a rufous tinge to it's upper leg feathers and lighter up onto it's lower front body. The tallest thing it perched on was a short, twiggy tree, where we first spotted it in a leaning over perch position. After that, it perched on the ground between feedings - only visible as an almond shape amongst the grasses. When in flight, the underwings were mostly light colored, with darker tips. It's vent and underside of tail were white. It never called. Great birding! Jean Myers P.S.
