Grandpa Gray J Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Saw these guys last Friday, Jan 4 about 4:00 pm west of Richmond Utah on Egan Road. Other have reported a Prairie Falcon there as well as Red-Tail Hawks, Sharpies, and Rough Legged Hawks. I have been trying to find and identify a Prairie Falcon on my own for several years and think I found one this time Please advise I think these first two are the Prairie Falcon - Size and Mylars look right to me plus the large eyes. You can see the pointed wings on the second photo as it flew away. The second set I believe are American Goldfinches. I am not as familier with the winter coloring on these but I don't know what else this would be. The last photo is a hawk, I'm think red-tail but not sure Thanks sure.

Charlie Spencer Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I'm not qualified to respond on the falcon or hawk, but your middle bird is indeed an American Goldfinch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Leukering Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 What would the falcon be if not a Prairie, with that dark slash through the wing linings? (And "mylar" is a man-made material out of which many balloons are made.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
