Last night around 5:30 I was at Darby Bend Lakes, west of Columbus, off
Amity Road, and as I pulled into the parking lot I noticed some birds of
prey flying low over the lake. When I got out of my car, one in particular
flew very slowly over top of me, not very high in the air, and just glided
around. I was able to get a good look at him with my binoculars. It was a
peregrine falcon in all his beauty!!! What a treat. I watched him for about
2-3 minutes before he/she soared up and out of sight over the tree line.
There were also some turkey vultures, and what looked to be one black
vulture. I didn't get a good view of him, but could see white on his wings
underneath.

That's my first sighting of a peregrine falcon in the wild, and so I was
thrilled!!!

Enjoying the beauty of the birds!!!
