Whenever I kayak near Pleasure Island (just south of Hart-Miller) I expect to 
see the Craighill Channel Lower Range Rear Light covered with pigeons, 
cormorants, and gulls.  This morning?  Nothing - not a bird in sight.  As a 
friend and I paddled past, however, we spooked a pair of Peregrines from the 
top of the lighthouse, then watched as they soared in the strong winds 
around the tower.  Now we know why the tower was snack-bird free...

I also saw three Least Terns and four Osprey.

Good birding,
