Happy Wednesday Friends 
My friend in Hornell just called to bring me up to date on his bird watching.
He said he has also talked with friends & neighbors of the area, and they have decided that what was seen was a  Kestrel/Sparrow Hawk.
However, i think we have a new Falcon enthusiast, and perhaps someday we'll get him up to Rochester to meet Beauty & Archer and families...introduce him to the 'real thing'.
Thank You everyone for your help & interest.

Thank you, Carol
That is what i am hoping...to find more eyes to the sky in Hornell.
I should mention this location is a block away from St. James Hospital (5+stories)
and about 1/2 mi from Canisteo River....
My friend also mentioned there has been a noticeable decline in the crow population in the area this past summer... lol

i just chatted a bit with "kitty"/Ei .. re: the bird feeder
& i wanted to mention that the ?PF? wasnt so much interested in the feeders
but the population of smaller birds and Blue Jays that were feeding there.

Good Morning ... @8:20am i received phone call from excited friend in Hornell.. who has not been a Falcon Fan ... sighted a large, unusual bird swoop down on the birds at his bird feeder... got a look thru binoculars when it settled a moment in a nearby tree... he was sure it was a falcon of some kind, looked for info on internet and is certain it's markings are that of a PF ...
are there any Falcon watchers in Hornell ??? would they be aware of a possible PF in the area ???
They should be alerted to this possible sighting in area of S. Division St.
I advised him to find a camera & look for bandings

( i hope i posted this in the right place)
