Just wanted to clarify the post from Lyn about the Gyrfalcon, it was county rd 121 (not route 121) that the elusive Gyrfalcon was seen (but not by me, despite my several attempts ☹). That is also where I saw 1 of the 2 Merlin this morning, near the quarry entrance on a wire. The other merlin was on Armitage Rd, 1/2 mile west of Rte 89. I also had a light morph rough-legged hawk fly over rte 89 near old schoolhouse rd, and of course a couple bald eagles & numerous RT hawks.
I also wanted to mention that the Seneca Landfill (on rt 414 north of Seneca Falls) uses falcons to chase crows & gulls. They use Peregrine and I believe a hybrid mix, which may be mistaken for pure gyrfalcon.
