I saw a Prairie Falcon on Saturday, October 25 around 3:30 PM. The bird was sighted just to the west of Highway 59 about 1-2 miles north of the Clearwater River. He appeared to be hunting for he was in a dive, aiming for some food. I have not seen a prairie falcon in several years, but as soon as I had seen him I "knew" that it was one. It's size, coloring, markings and behavior all said that this was not a merlin or a peregrine but a prairie falcon. It was really fun watching him going after his meal! Unfortunately he appeared to have missed.....
