At Kenilworth Park in DC this AM, the Peregrine that had been seen on 
Wed. had returned - this time on the ante-penultimate goal post. 
Meanwhile a Red Fox was lurking off the first parking lot. With the two 
ends of the playing fields anchored by these predators, it was not 
surprising that the resident Canada Geese had forsworn their favorite 
foraging ground. But after the fox had slunk off, the 14(!) A. Pipits 
and 3 Killdeers spotted earlier by Rob Hilton did return. The pipits 
tend to favor the "pools" near the road, but are skittish and can't be 
relied on to be at any particular place.

Meanwhile the Peregrine had remained in place the whole time. Eventually 
an adventurous few of the resident Fish Crows, motivated perhaps by 
curiosity, ventured into nearby trees but did not presume to harass this 
fearsome predator.

The combined list was:

Canada Goose 350
Sharp-shinned Hawk ad m.
PEREGRINE FALCON ad. m.
Killdeer 3
Downy Woodpecker 3
N. Flicker 1
Blue Jay 2
(mostly Fish) Crow  75
A. PIPIT  14
C Waxwing 70
E. Starling 2 (!)
A. Robin 6
Hermit Thrush 2
E. Bluebird 3
N. Mockingbird
Myrtle Warbler 1 (per Rob Hilton)
Song Sparrow 3
Savannah Sparrow 1 (per Rob Hilton)
White-thr Sparrow 6
N. Cardinal 3
House Finch 3

Unfortunately the A. Tree Sparrow, L.Longspur, and Balto. Oriole found 
y'day were not relocated.
