Hello Ontbirders, An adult Gray phase Gyrfalcon flew west past Saddington Park at around 11:00 am today. It was a long way out over the lake, moving quickly towards Burlington. Given the smorgasbord available in the area, it may well spend the winter between Toronto and Hamilton.
The 4 Harlequins were seen in the same area as the Gyr - just west of the park. Directions from Bernie Monette's message: QEW to Hurontario and go south. Right (west) on Lakeshore Road East and left at Peter street (about a kilometer west). The park is at the end of Peter street and parking is just east of there. Good birding, Jeff Jeff Skevington, Research Scientist Canadian National Collection of Insects, Arachnids and Nematodes Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada K.W.
