Observation details
spent most of time harassing Granville RODOs. seen in this area before. large falcon flying in from west, chasing TRES flock. Unsuccessful in its endeavors there, it turned to the AMPI flock, who also emerged unscathed. It then worked its way up to the Granville silo, where it began on the RODOs, causing them to scatter into two major flocks, swirling around. It was noticeably larger than the RODOs, other falcons being of their approximate size, or even smaller. Large falcon with exceptionally long wings and tail. Seen soaring up on thermals then making incredible stoops upon RODO flocks. Super cool to watch!
