[cayugabirds-l] Seneca Falls Gyrfalcon

2017-01-14 Thread Joseph M Wing
I was blessed to have crossed paths with a Gryfalcon late yesterday south of 
Seneca Falls, as Mike Tetlow communicated last night. Thanks Mike.


The bird was in a field feeding. It flew up into a nearby tree shortly after I 
pulled over. It did not like that I stopped but didn't want to leave it's meal. 
I sat in the car and after awhile it came back to continue feeding. It did not 
like that distance so pulled the duck further out into the field.


In looking at pictures of this bird and ones David Kennedy posted, it appears 
to be the same bird.


I hope others relocate the bird, its impressive.


Here are a couple of pictures I took:

One Eurasian Wigeon was at Montezuma NWR - Martens Tract this afternoon. Did 
not see the bird until I walked a bit to the right of the raised viewing area.

[cayugabirds-l] Northern Gannet - Sodus Point

2014-12-12 Thread Joseph M Wing
This afternoon around 1:45 I briefly saw a non-adult Northern Gannet at Sodus 
Point. The bird showed its wings, tail, and head proportions well. Was flying
to the west, crossed the channel a bit out into the lake. I lost sight of it as
it dropped below the horizon. I went to the old light house for some better 
views
of the lake, did not see the bird from that location.

I managed to get several poor images that show some field marks that separates 
it from some similar species:
