Hi Don
nice pics, love the Clapper rail, used to see them in So Cal, but I don't think I've taken a pic of [I]any[I] rail.. very cool. The lep we don't have here and is beautiful. We have the usual number of Kestrels and Merlins here it seems, I have a friend who is a falconer and has a wild caught Merlin right now...flies like a fighter jet...have got up close to some really cool birds he has had (including 2 peregrines)
