Death of a Yellowlegs

Cast: Peregrine Falcon - tundrius
and Lesser Yellowlegs

Over the years watching Peregrine Falcons take prey at Ensley, the preferred or maybe the easiest to catch has been Lesser Yellowlegs. They are taken more often than all other species combined. Thus was the story Mike Todd and I saw unfold on September 26, 2004.

Another “ Day of the Falcon” account I wrote on September 21, 1997 can be found at :
