I checked to see if I could find the Prairie Falcons at the Sioux Jersey Cattle Farm today. I got there at 2:30pm and finally saw one fly in from the west towards the farm at 3:15pm. While waiting for the Prairie Falcon to make an appearance, I enjoyed watching both a Merlin (prairie) and an American Kestrel, which means I saw three species of falcon from one spot. I refound the Prairie Falcon again, this time sitting on a powerline pole on the north side of the farm as I was leaving.
Afterwards I traveled into the Loess Hills a bit on 280th st and found a "Red-shafted" Northern Flicker at the T intersection of 280th and Grundy Ave. Good Birding, Tucker J.
