[Birdtalk] RUFF eaten by Prairie Falcon???

[tanager at timaverybirding.com]

I received a Voicemail this evening indicating that at least one person viewed a Prairie Falcon apparently taking the RUFF at the causeway today and then eating it on the ice while they watched!  Has anyone else heard about this?

Brings back memories of a Peregrine Falcon almost taking a jaeger at Willard Bay in 2005. Also reminds me of a story a friend from Indiana told me about going to look for a Purple Sandpiper on Lake Michigan only to find a Peregrine stopped on a bird and the only thing visible were a pair of vibrant orange legs, presumably of the bird they had hoped to see!
