Saoirse:
Since Bccs won't be able to give us air quality reports today, I drove downtown and stopped for a while on my way to work. Looked and looked and looked, but no sign of our falcon family -- maybe they're going to hide out in the shade again today. :(
Ellie:
Thank you Allikat! Checked out that website but the best picture of the "bird/falcon" that I saw fly over my head looked like Lunge Posted July 13/09 on the Ohio site. The underside of the one that flew over was that colorful on the underside and definitely a Brownish color. Hope it comes back to visit again! It was such a surprise to see and I was talking with my family at the time so I didn't get a good chance to really mentally snap the picture in my mind. It also was not flying very high.

Last Thursday I also saw a large bird with greyish back and whitish front at Assiniboine park sitting on a high branch. Came and went a few times and then disappeared. I am afraid I am not very good at knowing a merlin from a peregrine. Are the juvies as large as the parents now? Are the peregrines slightly smaller than a crow or about the same size. I have more questions than anything else!!!!! Need some help!

The Assiniboine park "bird" seemed to be enjoying Ron Paley's big band as it sat there for quite some time!
