I was on location all day, watched the sun rise and set. Scanned Blue Chip,
Shawangunk, and roads along the river between Walkill and Gardiner. Lots of
birders were on site and no one encountered the falcon. The Greater
White-fronted Goose continues in the flock at Blue Chip, and some of us
I understand as of 2 pm today the gyrfalcon had not been seen and many birders
were looking all day. I also read on an NjBIRDS post that a photographer
acknowledges finding a Gyr viewing location yesterday afternoon where he was
"hidden" behind an evergreen that allowed for "optimal viewing".
If anybody could give any updates on the whereabouts of the Gyrfalcon in
Wallkill today and post if it is sighted at any point, it would be greatly
appreciated for those that may be taking the trip up there this afternoon.
Thanks!
