Imagine if this is Mariah?? Now we need watchers in 2 places!  Ya never know! Thanks Carol

Thanks for the pictures Carol, falcon YES, female probably, Mariah I don't think so. (unless the color is off on your pictures it looks dark breasted isn't Mariah whiter?) But I would be more than happy to be wrong.

I wouldn't go by the color at all.  I was really far away and had to really zoom in and lighten the picture.  But, who knows.  It could be any Peregrine for sure. Wish I had been able to get closer.

That makes three sightings (within the last month) of a single falcon. One adult at Irondequoit Bay on 5/10, one flyby in late May at Russell Station (couldn't tell if was an adult or young adult), and this Kodak Park adult pefa on 6/13.

For comparison - here are 2 of the photos from 5/10. Even when the sunlight changed you can see it is difficult to distinguish the white breast.  It is really tough to distinguish from far away and at dusk.
