Dear Tweeters,
Today, February 16th, 2018, I finally managed to see five species of falcon in one day--long overdue!
All five were on the Samish Flats. 
American Kestrels--at least 6 in all.
Merlin--one dark individual between East Edison and Edison, eying a little flock of Mourning Doves.
Peregrine--one immature on Field Road.
Gyrfalcon--one at the East Ninety. This bird flew right by me, around 1545 in the afternoon, as I stood at the more southerly of the two East Nineties. I watched it fly from the Samish River just east of the East Ninety, over my head, over the fields, and finally out to the bay south of the West Ninety.
Prairie Falcon--this, the last falcon of the day, was perched out on the dike at the West Ninety at about 1630 in the afternoon. 
Yours truly,
Gary Bletsch
