Birders, I just saw a large, brown falcon flying from east to west near the intersection of 170th and Olympic. It stayed low to the ground and I did not get a look at the axillaries as I so desperately wanted to, but presume this to be a prairie falcon. I lost it over a hump in the land and could not find it sitting. There is a cattle lot it was headed towards and am hoping that it is hanging around the area, as there are a few cattle lots around. I will be keeping an eye out for this, don't worry!
If you're in the area, I invite you to search around! Bird on... matt Matthew T.
