Hi all,
Lafleche environmental, owner of the Lafleche landfill site where a Gyrfalcon was first discovered on January 3, 2015, was preparing to allow birders inside the facilities to see the Gyrfalcon up close. This special event may be cancelled unless the bird is seen again. The Gyrfalcon appears to have abandoned the landfill site: after seeing the bird nearly daily since January 3, staff at the facility did not see it this week, the last Ontbird report was on February 22, and the last eBird sightings were made on March 1. Please let me know in private if you have seen the bird recently. If it is seen again with some regularity, a special tour will be organized allowing birders to view the Gyrfalcon up close inside the landfill compounds.
