ONTBIRDERS, nine days ago a most unusual adult Peregine Falcon was seen by Niagara Peninsula Hawkwatchers at Beamer Conservation area in Grimsby. The bird had no tail. It could be very interesting to find out where this bird goes. If anyone sees a tail-less Peregrine a private report to me would be appreciated.
Thanks.
