This weasel popped out as we were Investigating a loud high pitched ruckus in the shrubbery along side the levee. I figured some small mammal was squealing in pain, fear, or fun.
Alerted to a Peregrine Falcon feeding on the Shoreline Lake island when two gulls tried to chase it off. It landed atop the pine tree and remained there for a few minutes before flying south.
On my way back 30 minutes later, again found the Peregrine feeding on the island. Did so for a few more minutes before flying off to perch in a tree. Flew off to the south again.
Could not make out what it was feeding on on the island.
