Falcons and Accipiters Workshop - a few of each in the fog

Day one of the workshop dawned cloudy, foggy, and with southeast winds, but both perched Merlin and flyby Peregrine made things auspicious. We later saw another Peregrine nearly take a Wilson's Snipe, plus the almost usual Bald Eagle swiping a fish from an Osprey, and several more Merlins, a few Sharp-shinneds, three Caspian Terns, and the usual shorebird suspects. This morning's list is below.
