Observation details
Photos and notes are from Brian Machanic, who also saw the bird and has a really good camera! As I went south on Jersey Rd., only a few hundred yds. from the Northtown intersection, I saw what looked like a falcon atop a utility pole. After pulling over as much as I could, I took a quick look with binoculars and was excited by what looked like a possible Prairie Falcon ! I grabbed my camera that was set to go and ran off about a dozen shots, with the bird in profile , as well as looking directly at me. It was about 60 yds. away, and didn't seem disturbed. . The bird was 18 - 19" tall (far bigger than a kestrel).
