A PEREGRINE FALCON & A GOLDEN PLOVER 
“We witnessed a sight we shall never forget: South of Rock Falls is a po 
and on Saturday afternoon, May 3, it was full of Golden Plovers—ab 
75 of them. Suddenly a Peregrine Falcon made a dive and caught a fl 
piumaged Golden Plover. It sat a minute, then flew away, and then star 
upward—soaring higher and higher with the plover in his claws. We w 
to another pond and there sat a Peregrine Falcon eating a Golden Ploy 
it was 10 miles distance between ponds and we had left the first Fak 
soaring behind us. We felt it to be another Peregrine Falcon. Both po! 
had better than 200 plovers around for two weeks.”’
