[nysbirds-l] Gyrfalcon in Seneca Falls area

2018-12-15 Thread Kyle Brock
I had heard some reports that the Gyrfalcon had returned to the area south
of Seneca Falls New York. I confirmed those reports shortly before sunset
at the Seneca Stone Company Quarry at Canoga and Hoster roads. Be advise
that this is a difficult bird to chase, as it hunts over a wide territory
during the day, from my prior experience with it. Good luck to any who try
:)

I was able to view a perched Gyrfalcon from the platform at the Wallkill 
National Wildlife Preserve tonight, at sunset. It was distant, but was flushed 
by several Northern Harriers and then the Gyrfalcon flew towards me.  I have 
pictures for documentary purposes.  I recommend scopes/binoculars for viewing.  
An exciting bird for Orange County!

Thanks Chris in getting the Intel and posting.

Congratulations on an excellent find and very well documented photos Dianne. 

Birders, please note a White Gryfalcon was reported in Clarion County PA 
yesterday. It was not seen today so who knows where that one will end up.

Cheers,

Re: [nysbirds-l] GYRFALCON - Livonia, NY (2/21/2016)

2016-02-22 Thread Andrew Baksh
Thanks Chris in getting the Intel and posting.

Congratulations on an excellent find and very well documented photos Dianne. 

Birders, please note a White Gryfalcon was reported in Clarion County PA 
yesterday. It was not seen today so who knows where that one will end up.

Cheers,

Re: [nysbirds-l] Gyrfalcon updates??

2015-12-26 Thread Tim Healy
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 spotted 
two Cackling Geese among the many Canadas roosting at Old Fort Road's pond. A 
handful of Short-eared Owls and Northern Harriers put on twilight show at 
Shawangunk, closing the day on a high note. Good luck to anyone who tries to 
relocate the Gyr. 

Cheers!

Re: [nysbirds-l] Gyrfalcon updates??

2015-12-26 Thread Larry Trachtenberg
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". The bird then 
took off or so the report states (and apparently has not been seen by anyone 
since).  I don't know him and certainly can't judge how close he got or the 
propriety of a photographer getting close to such a rare bird -- a topic of 
much comment through the years -- or whether his proximity had anything to do 
with the bird taking off. It may just be hunkered down on this overcast day and 
will show up again at Blue Chip Farm later today or tomorrow. I can say the 
linked photo is really an excellent one.  His photos are posted under the nom 
de plume "Larry Bird". As a Celtics fan since birth and growing up in Boston 
during the Russell, Havlicek, Sam and KC Jones era you just can't call yourself 
Larry Bird -- there being only one. Go Celts. Good luck with the Gyr if you're 
there or if you go. Would be a lifer for me.

Hi all,
At sunrise today Rich Fried and I were on the dock at Cedar Beach Marina with 
hopes to see the Gyrfalcon that was found on Wednesday and seen yesterday 
morning. After a couple of hours and with 3 other birders also looking for it 
we decided to go and check other locations.

When we arrived at Gilgo the fog had rolled in and it was so thick that we 
could barely discern the gates and perhaps half of the parking lot. You 
couldn't even tell that there was a dock and water beyond. So we turned around 
and drove back. Cedar Beach was also socked in fog by then so we continued to 
Captree, which was virtually void of birds. Next we stopped at the Coast Guard 
Station, where the sand bar was occupied by a large flock of Brant, regular 
gulls and a few shorebirds.

At West End II we found a large flock of Snow Buntings (120+) that was moving 
between the swale and parking lot.

After another stop at Cedar Beach Marina we made our last stop at Point 
Lookout, where we enjoyed watching one male Harlequin Duck, 4 Purple Sandpiper, 
a handful of Sanderling and cirka one hundred Dunlin on one of the breakwaters. 
Common and Red-throated Loons were on the water, small flocks of Black Scoters 
flew west to east, and further out a dozen or so Northern Gannets were feeding.

good birding on an unusually warm December spring-like day,

Jack et al,

After Doug's report yesterday , we arrived ~ 9:30 to be told that the 
bird had just flown. Many people were on station at Cedar beach; I was 
there until 2:30 but the bird had not returned.  it is a BIG area. Most 
likely the bird is the same one that has been in this area before, and 
will return to one or more favored perches.


The morning maybe the best time, today not withstanding due to the fog,

so... you may get it right away, or you may have to wait a long time, or 
you may dip, like I did yesterday.

After another stop at Cedar Beach Marina we made our last stop at Point 
Lookout, where we enjoyed watching one male Harlequin Duck, 4 Purple Sandpiper, 
a handful of Sanderling and cirka one hundred Dunlin on one of the breakwaters. 
Common and Red-throated Loons were on the water, small flocks of Black Scoters 
flew west to east, and further out a dozen or so Northern Gannets were feeding.

good birding on an unusually warm December spring-like day,

Anders Peltomaa

[nysbirds-l] Gyrfalcon at Cedar Beach Marina (Suffolk County)

2015-12-09 Thread Ken Feustel
Yesterday Sue and I observed a large gray falcon briefly sitting on an Osprey 
platform in the salt marsh north of the Cedar Beach Marina (CBM). Before we 
could even get out of the car to look at the bird it dropped off the platform 
and flew low over marsh before abruptly pouncing on something hidden in the 
marsh grass. We stayed an additional hour in anticipation of the bird showing 
itself - which it never did. The light gray back, large bulky body, broad, 
pointed wings and manner of flight all suggested a Gyrfalcon, but the 
observation was too brief to be sure. We entered the sighting in E-bird as 
”large falcon sp.”. 

Today a brief stop at CBM in the morning yielded only a Peregrine Falcon on the 
Osprey Platform. However, we had alerted another birder of the possibility that 
a Gyr was present, and in the early afternoon we received a phone call that the 
Gyrfalcon was being observed north of the marina, perched in a lone Cedar tree 
out on the marsh. Upon arriving, the bird was sitting in the Cedar, 
interestingly the same tree used by the last Gyfalcon seen in this location a 
few years ago. The bird, seen from a distance with a spotting scope, was 
heavy-bodied, resembling a Red-tailed Hawk. The light gray back with light 
feather edgings was observed, as well as the weak, narrow mustache stripe. 
During our observation of well over an hour, we observed the bird tussle with a 
Peregrine Falcon, chase a Black Duck (he missed) and grab two unidentified prey 
items, always flying back to the lone Cedar tree after presumably devouring its 
prey. The bird was too far away for my meager telephoto, but usable photos were 
obtained and will be posted to e-bird in the near future by another birder. Our 
observation of the birds behavior gave us no reason to believe this bird was an 
escapee from a falconer.

A word about access. Cedar Beach Marina is usually open during the week when 
maintenance people need to get in. The facility is open on the weekend if there 
is some special event being held there, which does not happen frequently at 
this time of year. If the facility is closed my recommendation is to park at 
Cedar Overlook on the south side of the Ocean Parkway, (opens anywhere from 9 
to 10AM on weekends) walk west past the 9/11 Memorial on your left then out the 
entrance of Cedar Beach to the parkway. Cross the parkway carefully and walk in 
the main entrance to the marina. You could also park outside the entrance to 
the marina and take your chances with the gendarmes.

Good Birding,

Ken & Sue Feustel

[nysbirds-l] Gyrfalcon- Gardiner NY

2015-02-28 Thread 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.

I neglected to mention that Mark got some awesome photos of the Gyr nabbing
a Mallard in flight, and then fighting off two Red-tailed Hawks trying to
claim the carcass on the ground. The photos can be viewed here:

[nysbirds-l] Gyrfalcon this morning: NO

2015-02-14 Thread Corey Finger
Carrie Laben and I spent from early AM through 10:30 AM trying to find the
Gyrfalcon with no luck. It apparently is most reliable in the afternoon.

Only birds of note during our visit were two Rough-legged Hawks (one at
Shawangunk, one along Hoagerburgh), 2 Bald Eagles at the spillway on the
Wallkill River, Common Goldeneyes, Hooded Mergansers, and a Common
Merganser downstream from the spillway, an American Kestrel on Bruyn
Turnpike, a Peregrine Falcon on Bates Lane, and a couple of Horned Lark
flocks around Blue Chip Farm.

Good Birding,
Corey Finger

[nysbirds-l] Gyrfalcon NO 2/12

2015-02-12 Thread Gabriel Willow
David Burg and I scoured the area around Blue Chip Farm & the Shawangunk 
Grasslands in Wallkill for the Gyrfalcon today from about 9-1.  We did not 
locate the bird; however, we also noted a surprising absence of other birders, 
only encountering 2 or 3, so it's entirely possible the bird was hiding out 
somewhere undetected (there's a lot of meadows & woods to cover up there).

We went down Old Hoagerburgh Rd, Bates Ln/ Old Fort Rd, Burnt Meadows Rd, Red 
Mill Rd & Watchtower Farm, and Sax/Sac Rd, to no avail.

However, we had a lovely morning and some other nice sightings:

Numerous Red-tailed Hawk (at least 9)
Rough-legged Hawk (2 dark morph & 2-3 light morph, mostly at the Grasslands)
Turkey Vulture (2)
Black Vulture (2)
Merlin (1 female)
American Kestrel (1 male)
Wild Turkey (flock of 19)
Pileated Woodpecker (a confiding pair at close range)
Eastern Bluebird (flock of 5 at Grasslands parking lot)
American Tree Sparrow
Typical feeder birds (titmice, chickadees, juncos, song sparrow etc)

I hope others locate the falcon!

Good winter birding,

Gabriel Willow

Re:[nysbirds-l] gyrfalcon _ _ _ YES!

2015-02-09 Thread Curt McDermott
Gyrfalcon new location.  Having not has enough earlier today, Clara and I 
returned to see the Gyr again.  It is currently on Bruyn Tpk., 1/2 mile east of 
the intersection of Hoagerburgh Rd.  The bird is perched across the field 
directly across from 350 Bruyn Tpk. As a second reference point, there is a 
yellow excavator on the property to the left of the bird.  When we first came 
upon it, it was feeding over a kill about 100yrds out in the field. NOTE:  
there is no shoulder on the side of the road!!! If you cross the white line, 
you will be towed out just as we were, in our 4x4 vehicle.

Good luck,

[nysbirds-l] Gyrfalcon at Blue Chip Farms, Wallkill, NY

2015-02-06 Thread Andrew Block
Since I haven't seen a post on this bird I figured I'd let people know that a 
Gyrfalcon was photographed by someone on the Blue Chip Farm next to Shawangunk 
Grasslands NWR in Wallkill today.  The photos were on Facebook on the NY 
Birders page.  Don't know anything else about it.  Hope I can get a chance to 
see it.

[nysbirds-l] Gyrfalcon at Blue Chip Farms, Wallkill, NY

2015-02-06 Thread Andrew Block
Since I haven't seen a post on this bird I figured I'd let people know that a 
Gyrfalcon was photographed by someone on the Blue Chip Farm next to Shawangunk 
Grasslands NWR in Wallkill today.  The photos were on Facebook on the NY 
Birders page.  Don't know anything else about it.  Hope I can get a chance to 
see it.

[nysbirds-l] Gyrfalcon(white) in Plattsburgh

2015-01-13 Thread Brian McAllister
Sorry for this late post...just getting to a computer. At 12:45pm 
today(Tuesday) I saw a gyrfalcon(white) sitting on the ice at the mouth of the 
Saranac River in Plattsburgh. It was observed for about 3-4 minutes then it 
took off, circled over me(gaining altitude, flapping and gliding so I could see 
pure white underside and black wingtips), then flew off to the south. I would 
concentrate on looking along the shoreline from Plattsburgh south to 
Ticondaroga over the next few days. There are concentrated areas of waterfowl & 
gulls due to ice formation.Brian McAllisterSaranac Lake

[nysbirds-l] Gyrfalcon at Fort Tilden, maybe not

2014-03-03 Thread Joseph O'Sullivan
One of the main factors separating my final two choices, Peregrine Falcon
or Gyrfalcon, for id'ing was the pattern and color of the plumage. The
finally decision I made was based  primarily on the fact that the Gyrfalcon
had different pattens and an overall darker color that the tundra race of
the Peregrine Falcon. I forgot that when the Peregrines were re-introduced
a mix of races was used, not just the tundra. The fact that a dark-colored
Peregrine is a definite possibility in NYC makes my id uncertain.

I'll have to scratch Gyrfalcon off my life list :P

[nysbirds-l] Gyrfalcon in Fort Tilden NYC - No

2014-03-03 Thread Joseph O'Sullivan
I tried to relocate the Gyrfalcon I saw Wednesday, but I had no luck. I
didn't have a chance to try the paths that run through the northern part of
the park though. I will try that area next time. The beaches were fairly
active with lots of Long-tailed Ducks,  and a few Loons and Scoters.
