Observation details
**Rare** Potential eBird county first (may have been one or two previous records not verified or put into eBird). Adult bird perched at the top of a dead tree around here: (41.2159050, -75.9850297). At first glance, naked eye, almost wrote it off as a crow but shape seemed more like a falcon so I got my scope on the bird hoping for a Merlin. When I looked through the scope I saw a falcon-shaped raptor with an all slate gray body with slightly darker wings, black over the eye, small bill and pointed wings. It took me a second to reign in my excitement and realize I was looking at a MIKI. Plymouth continues to amaze. Really feels like anything can show up here.
