I saw a peregrine falcon in Long Marsh Bay this morning.   This was the
last check for waterfowl banding.  Wood Ducks and Mallards and some Black
Ducks are increasing in abundance.   A few Great Blue Herons can be seen in
the river and shoreline areas.   Serveral Ospreys have been lingering in
the area usually perching on sign posts around the marsh.
