[EBB Sightings] Peregrine Falcon at Don Edwards NWR in Newark

Hi everyone,

Be aware that this portion of the entrance road is
posted as a no stopping and no parking zone. I've
stopped in this area many times over the years to look
at the shorebirds with no problems. But this past
August I was issued a $60 ticket by a refuge employee
for stopping, even though I was well off the road.
