Sunday evening around 7:30 pm while I was driving my daughter and her boyfriend into Lebanon for dinner, we saw a falcon on the power line to our right. I saw it bob it's tail once just after what looked like an awkward landing. I pulled over and handed binoculars to my daughter, but the bird flew away too quickly to get a good look. We did hear it's kek kek kek call, so listened to both merlin and kestrel calls on iphone. We agreed it sounded more like the merlin than the higher pitched kestrel, but we weren't sure. It was definitely not a male kestrel, but I suppose it could have been a female or immature (maybe explain the rocky landing?). Is it more likely that it would be a kestrel? It seemed bigger, but it's always hard to tell without a frame of reference. Thanks for input!
