Loriann:
Well isn't he just gorgeous !.. and that's awfully close to home isn't it? Have to look 'up' more often when i'm down there... how wonderful for them to capture him on film.. very lucky indeed.

Big Frank has had some great updates done to his site and there is alot of new content if you haven't checked it out in awhile. A few days ago they saw a juvenile bald eagle and have some great pictures of it if anyone is interested in checking it out.

...just my two cents worth.
Have been out that way many times...re: GHO nest, Swainsons,Redtail and Northern Harrier have all be seen perched/hunting just before the perimeter. All are about the same size...large.
Really hard to ID without a photo...but lucky you Birdcamfan to see the raptor up close.
Cheers !

The Peregrine Chick:
Migration is moving fast now ....
At Oak Hammock Marsh north of the city on Friday last week (and for the last couple of weeks, daily counts have been in the 200-300,000 range for geese (Canadas & Snows) and ducks (you name it, it was counted). Today's count is 80,000 all combined. Yesterday I saw flock of more than a couple of thousand female yellow-headed blackbirds (the females don't have the yellow, only the males) but almost none this morning.
And haven't seen any of the peregrines at all for about 10 days now ... guess its time to reset the countdown timer ... ;)
birdcamfan:
Thanks TPC. It was for sure not a merlin (WAY too big) as I am very familiar with them. Looking at the Cooper's Hawk...could have been a big female. I would have loved to have had my camera with me as I could have obtained a great shot from where I was. Still...closest I've ever been to a huge bird like that. It put my heart into my mouth!
