   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hi All</span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Yesterday a friend and I went to Blue Beach for an&#160; afternoon<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">fishing for Striped Bass. And a perfect day it was on the beach.<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">A dozen or so other anglers made for a good exchange of info and tips.<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">As the tide was getting nearly high and everybody was getting closer<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">together.&#160; I noticed two birds flying towards the group. Both about the<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">size of a crow. When they got closer I saw it was a Pileated Woodpecker<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">trying to escape a Peregrine Falcon. The Falcon was closing fast!</span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Woodpecker was loosing altitude </span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">quickly and soon crashed on the beach in the group of anglers. It wasn&#39;t<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">done though but headed along the beach to the woods. Flapping, hopping<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">running whatever, not graceful but got the job done as it got into the woods.<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Falcon veered up a little piece over us and hovered for a few seconds.<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">It then gave up the chase and flew of down the beach. <br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">An interesting chase&#160; - not something I see often. Then I don&#39;t<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">spend much time sitting on&#160; the Beach waiting for a Striper to strike!<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Enjoy the Fall<br/></span>
