Briefly this morning there was a large raptor perching near the top of the microwave tower in downtown Lubbock.
It soared off at 11:07 a.m. Broad wings.
I first saw it when adjusting my 10X42 Prostaffs (I often use that tower to adjust the diopter to fit my right [bad] eye), then ran to get the 12X50 Aculons and confirmed it was a bird and not a piece of trash that had lodged on the tower. Took a couple of photos then went for my 16X50 Bushnell binoculars.
As I got the 16s focused, the bird soared off the tower. Thought for a minute it was an eagle the wings looked so broad, but I am not sure of the size of the bird.
