[nysbirds-l] Gyrfalcon- Gardiner NY

[Chrissy G]

I found the Gyrfalcon this morning on the Wallkill River in Gardiner NY.  I
stopped to look at some Canada Geese in the open water, found one Snow
Goose, a few Mallards and a Bald Eagle.  A bit upstream on the ice, I found
the Gyr eating what looks like a duck. I watched it for about 15 minutes
and a Bald Eagle flew over it and it flew away.  I even took  a terrible
photo through my binocs with my cell phone,

I could see it circle the large island in the river so I have a feeling it
didn't go far.  It's the only open water in the area which has some
waterfowl, so perhaps the Gyr will feed here for a while.  There aren't
many good places to pull off the roads in this area so please be respectful
of people who live here and don't block roadways.

Gardiner has a few eateries and businesses so please patronize them and
show them that birders are great visitors!

I found the Gyrfalcon this morning on the Wallkill River in Gardiner NY.  I
stopped to look at some Canada Geese in the open water, found one Snow
Goose, a few Mallards and a Bald Eagle.  A bit upstream on the ice, I found
the Gyr eating what looks like a duck. I watched it for about 15 minutes
and a Bald Eagle flew over it and it flew away.  I even took  a terrible
photo through my binocs with my cell phone,

I could see it circle the large island in the river so I have a feeling it
didn't go far.  It's the only open water in the area which has some
