I first saw him in March 2003 after a big snow storm. When I mistakenly identified it as a gyrfalcon and called it in to the RBA (remember when you had yo call?😊) they told me it was the red-tail who had "been there for at least 3 years". I live off 120th and Sheridan and drive south every day for work. I see him (and his misses) about every 3rd day. She successfully kept their territory while he was in rehab!
