Observation details
I first saw the bird yesterday but couldn't identify it. It heard it's screeching cry this morning but didn't see it and heard it again this afternoon as it flew by me. I managed to get some quick photo's that aren't very good but it was not an American Kestrel or a Merlin. Larger than a Merlin,light brown back with no visible black hood. Not large enough to be a Gyr. Call matched recording for Prairie Falcon but not American Kestrel or Merlin. Have not been able to re find this bird.
