Annie and I stopped by the Perryville Park for short while this afternoon.  
In addition to countless American Coot and Tundra Swan, we had many duck 
species including Gadwall, Ring-neck, Bufflehead, Black, Hooded Merganser, a few 
American Widgeon, and of course Mallard.  The highlight of the short trip however 
was a Peregrine Falcon that landed in a tree less than 30 feet from us!  The 
flew from the Charter Hall side of the flats, landed on the tree immediately 
in front of us, and was startled moments later when a car drove up.  It flow 
off directly over Havre deGrace, so local CBC participants may want to keep an 
eye out anywhere in the lower Sussky area (assuming it is going to stick 
around).
