I've seen the photo, just can't remember if someone showed me or if they sent it (exhausted grey cells). Will find it though ...

I'm hunting up a photo of a bird that was found in southern Manitoba a little while ago that was causing us some identification problems - it was somewhere between a peregrine and a prairie we thought but wasn't really either. Turned out to be a lost falconry bird - a juvenile gyrfalcon x peregrine hybrid. There were in fact two birds, brothers, lost at the same time so let me know if the photo (when I find it) looks a bit like the bird you saw, who knows, just might be our lost "boy".

It eventually landed on the Civic Centre. It could have been anybirdy of course but I liked to imagine it was someone from Manitoba.
I had a good run and it was a beautiful day. It's a nice event for anyone who likes a fall race.

I'm sure it was a Manitoba bird, bcf, and it was probaly thinking that you were going south with him/her! *wink*
