Greetings, Today I attended a soccer game at the stadium in Corning, NY. I had my binoculars with me as I thought I might see some hawks migrating through. During the game I did manage to see at least 5 Red-tailed Hawks. Then as we left the game and as we crossed the mighty Chemung River in Corning, I noticed a large bird on the southeast corner of the "Little Joe Tower" the large white tower in town. From the bridge I could tell it was a raptor of some sort and I had my suspicions. As we got closer I was able to see the facial pattern of a Peregrine quiet clearly. We drove closer to check the bird and to further confirm it. It remained there as we drove off to hike the Finger Lakes Trail at Connecticut Hill. That is another story! :-)
