I got up to the site at about 11AM this morning, and the bird had just
relocated to an unknown cite. About noon it was relocated west of
Chuckanut Drive opposite where Colony road intersects, initially sitting on
a pile of dirt, then flying to the north, foraging. Then the 10 or so of
us gathered at this site witnessed a breathtaking repetitive attack on the
kestrel by a peregrine! After about 7 ro 8 dives by the peregrine, the
kestrel flew east across Chuckanut Drive and disappeared into trees
surrounding a house.

There were at least 3 twitchers from California that flew up this morning,
and there was one car with BC plates.
