Smith Point Hawk Watch 11/22/19 (3 raptors)

Bob reports only 3 migrating raptors today before he had to give it up because of rain.

Merlin 1
Peregrine Falcon 2

There was some excitement though! The Merlin swooped down behind one of the houses and nailed a Killdeer. It flew over to post and began to chow down when a kestrel flew in and attempted to steal the Killdeer. The kestrel was run off by a Peregrine Falcon that DID steal the Killdeer and the poor Merlin was left hungry and frustrated for its efforts. There are plenty of Killdeer though so I expect it will still get a meal!
