While birding at the North Glade Project hotspot in Ha Ha Tonka State Park this morning, I had a large falcon-like bird soar close overhead. I was one the west side of Deamond Road on the north glade. Bird flew from east to west, soaring the entire way. It went towards the ridge on the west side of the creek below the glade.
I’ll have to add details to my checklist later but I wanted to get this info out, just in case. I will say that I have been able to reasonably eliminate all other raptors as possibilities. As soon as I saw it, I thought PEFA.
