Hi all!
A friend and I were having lunch at a 4th floor window overlooking the
large open space east of the DATCP building in southeastern Madison today.
All of sudden a small brownish falcon came scooping past heading southeast.
We thought "merlin" as it disappeared from our view. While searching for
it with binoculars, we observed a dark object sitting on top of a very small
tree. When it lifted off, it turned out to be a dark morph Rough-legged,
soaring and circling with its white wing areas glowing in the sun. Another
raptor on a nearby power pole turned out to be a Red-tailed. After lunch,
a coworker observed an immature eagle flying by on the north side of the
building.
