Dear C-birders,
This morning as I drove south along rural highway 321, I saw what appeared 
to be a peregrin falcon swoop over the trees. (For those who know the area, 
it was right where the four-lane becomes two-lane, heading into Winnsboro, 
SC.) All I could see was a silhouette, but the lines were decidedly 
falcon-like. (I see buteo silhouettes all the time -- a different shape 
altogether.) I suppose it might have been an accipiter, but it seemed larger 
and more stream-lined than most I've seen before. Anyone know of peregrin 
falcons passing through SC piedmont this time of year?
