The Prairie Falcon was being seen in Shippensburg, PA which is about
halfway between Hagerstown and Harrisburg. Not far as the falcon flies.
Keep your eyes open for a falcon with black wing pits (axillaries).
There have been no recent sightings, at least within the last couple of
days.

Subject: [MDOSPREY] Prairie Falcon

I've been reading about several MDOSPREY members losing contact, and
then 
it happened to me.  For some reason, I'm not receiving the MDOSPREY 
messages. Help!  What do I do?

On another note, I recently read that a prairie falcon has been seen 
in "south-central PA near Maryland." Although this isn't a Maryland
bird, I 
was wondering if anyone knows this bird's whereabouts. With its close 
proximity to Maryland, I thought someone might have seen it.
