With strong winds out of the south today, the raptor action on Disposal Road really picked up.

We stopped to see what Ron Shields was photographing near the bend at the Carillon this afternoon, and promptly saw Peregrines dueling Harriers, a couple of Red-tails, an Osprey and a Common Raven (yes, a non-raptor, we know) — which was going after a Northern Harrier (photo at left).

Several Am. Kestrels were further down Disposal, toward the banding station.

Looks like it might be Disposal Road season again.

We promise to post any pix from this afternoon that Ron sends our way.
