[Ontbirds] Kingston: Gyrfalcon
Ontbirds subscribers: Just had a grey morph Gyrfalcon on Wolfe Island. 7th concession, about 150 meters south of Bennett Road. It was exceptionally large to the eye; even slightly larger than a Red-tailed Hawk. It hunted a Canada Goose, taking several stabs at it!

[Ontbirds] Kingston: Gyrfalcon
Our birding group was just treated to a spectacular view of an adult gray morph Gyr hunting Mallards. It was a beast of a bird; essentially raven-sized. We are on the Kingston ferry, heading over to Wolfe Island. The bird split the Mallard flock right in front of us! It was unseccesful in its hunt and flew S to Wolfe Island. I will update if we refind it.
