Today, Jan 1, Brian Moore and I found an immature grey phase Gyrfalcon on the Thunder Bay waterfront. It was initially seen early afternoon perched on a railing of an abandoned grain elevator; later it was hunting Rock Pigeons along the railway tracks.
We also found the Yellow-rumped Warbler that was discovered on the Christmas bird count Dec 26. It had been coming to a north ward Thunder Bay bird feeder for about a month. We had a good look at it, it had a yellow throat, indicating Audubon's race. It looked healthy, and has survived several nights down to -22C.
