Ontbirders: Just an addition to D. Shanahan's report. The white Gyrfalcon was perched in a tree on the west end of Knapp Point when I returned on the 3:30 pm ferry from Wolfe Island. There was a group of Greater Scaup/Goldeneye swimming in a patch of open water near where the Gyrfalcon was perched which may have attracted its attention. It was somewhat of a closer view from when it was on the southwest end of Garden Island but binoculars/scope were still necessary. Directions and ferry schedule from M. Bain's post: The Kingston ferry dock is at Barrack and Ontario Sts. in downtown Kingston. The service is basically hourly but "on-the-hour" and "on-the-half-hour" shifts through the day, so best to check the schedule on <http://www.wolfeisland.com/ferry.php> http://www.wolfeisland.com/ferry.php Bruce Parker Cobourg ON _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
