On Friday morning I saw what I think is a Pine Warbler and on  
Saturday a Peregrine Falcon.  Pretty sure about the Warbler, but not  
the falcon.  (He was in a tree right outside my window.)  Photos are  
poor, but the best I could due under the circumstances.  If anyone  
would care to either confirm or correct my IDs, I'd appreciate it.

Sunday morning I saw a blackbird pair high in a tree not far from my  
porch.  Hard to get a good look facing into a bright cloudy sky, but  
thought at first Rusty Blackbird, but the location is all wrong.   
After a second or two, and before I had a chance to get my camera, I  
got a good look at the female.  Looked identical to Sibley's picture  
of a Brewer's Blackbird female.  Never got to see the male in good  
light, so not too sure about his coloring.   Gone as quickly as they  
came and nothing since.  I'm new to this, so it's more likely I'm  
wrong than right.  However.......Is it possible I saw what I think I  
saw or am I on drugs?
