Be sure to scan the skies above these sites for the kestrel-a small (jay-sized) but handsome blue-gray falcon with white, black and reddish markings. The Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge is flanked by the Oak Orchard Wildlife Management Area and the Tonawanda Wildlife Management Area. Together, the three adjoining properties make up almost 20,000 acres of wildlife habitat.
