Today, April 14, Dan Williams saw a Prairie Falcon flying over downtown Rockford. It was cicling the Lutheran Center highrise (I believe that is on the west shore of the Rock River where State St. crosses the river) and was harrassing a Redtail and scaring all the Rock Pigeons. Dan got Binoculars on the bird and is confident of his ID. The bird headed southwest and Dan was unable to relocate it.
In other news, I had my first Blue-headed Vireo of the year in our yard this morning.
