I've been unable to see them really up close, and they are such fast and agile fliers it's next to impossible to get a photo. I live in SW Ohio, near Eastfork State Park, but we had a pair of birds that look like these, for the last two years here. I cannot say I have seen young or a nest, but I have seen a pair flying together. Wish I could get a photo and know for sure, but the pics I've seen of them flying are identical to the birds I've seen. They are the fastest fliers I've EVER witnessed! I seen an article in Raptor's Newsletters and noticed right away they looked like the birds I saw, then googled them for a color picture. <BR/><BR/>AWESOME!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072479063452233450.post-75088021310085969872007-09-12T17:29:00.000-04:002007-09-12T17:29:00.000-04:00That so cool!
