Hi Carol,

Would you mind forwarding this? I'm not on Tweeters, but I thought
some people might be interested in this photo my husband took today
(Wed 9/2) of a Prairie Falcon soaring over 2nd Burroughs Mountain at
Mt. Rainier: http://files.me.com/wspotter/5ub7w5 The weather was
mostly clear with a few clouds, it was windy, and we had a great day.
The falcon skimmed just over our heads as it crested 2nd Burroughs and
was quickly far away and high in the sky.

We also saw some more expected birds like a big mixed flock along the
Sunrise Trail with juncos, mountain chickadee, Lincoln's sparrow, a
Townsend's warbler, an orange-crowned warbler, and a couple of yellow-
rumped warblers.
