Hi there, This evening (25 January) I received an email from a birding friend inquiring about the identification of a hawk; a friend of hers had taken some photos while birding on Amherst Island and was curious to know what species he had photographed. Upon opening the attached photos, I was flabbergasted to see that the photos were of an adult gray morph Gyrfalcon. The bird was observed during the afternoon on 23 January.
Best of luck to those who attempt to see it. Feel free to email me if you'd like to see the photos. Good birding, Jon _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
