I believe the first Prairie Falcon to be accepted by the ORBC was one well seen by 7 experienced birders on April 19th, 1995 at the Grimsby Hawk watch. This was the bird that appeared on a day with extremely strong westerly winds. The bird flew in, captured an Eastern Meadowlark in front of the observers, landed briefly and then took off with the captured Meadowlark in it's jessless talons never to be seen again. I was fortunate enough to have been one of those seven observers.
