> Obol,
> Yesterday and today while driving on Clear Lake Rd I spotted a slender
> looking falcon. I stopped and got unsatisfactory binocular views
> yesterday. Today the bird flew over my car and it appeared to have dark
arm
> pits by eye sight alone. Looks and flys very much like a PRAIRIE FALCON,
> but my views have been fleeting.
> Last night around 5PM (9-6-07) I found 14 GREATER-WHITE FRONTED
> GEESE north of Royal Ave. Both adult and juvenile birds. These birds
were
> north of the where the Buff-breasted and Ruff were. They were in the
> company of many Canada Geese and two domestics who frequent the area. No
> Cacklers yet.
> Also last evening a YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD flew over as I drove home
on
> Clear Lake Rd. It was in a large blackbird flock.
