(delhibirdpix) A lifer in lacs (hundred thousands!)

Watching the Amur Falcons over Doyang was a spectacular and uplifting experience. As Soma said, they were very high up in the sky around 5.30 a.m. - like swarms of mosquitoes/flies - then slowly and gradually descended to a lower level, before finally settling on the electric wires. 

Looking up at the wire from directly below at one point, it was fun to watch the different shapes each Amur made with their perch. But what remains etched in my mind are the 'moonstruck' Amurs (see second attachment).

We also noticed that after perching on the wire, they would keep moving and fanning their tails out for a long time. Wonder why?
