Post by: mrsfalcon on March 04, 2025, 09:23:54 AM: Faber K/42 was seen at Castle Rock on Saturday and Sunday. Faber is a 2016 hatch from Faith Bluff, about 12 miles upstream. An unbanded bird was spotted here Sunday and pigeons also explored the eyrie. Better watch out, guys...not a real safe place for you!
