He goes about life doing exactly what I might were I given an hour in a falcon's body. Our bird passes the time by messing with gulls in extravagant aerial combat.

We observed him doing so yesterday around 6 pm near the dock.

On a more boring note, I've finally begun to identify which subspecies of Canada goose are present on the island. So far, it's just the 'common' variety. Booooring. I have seen one pair of smaller geese on the island. I'm hoping to have pictures of those up soon, hopefully with an identification.
