When I got the camera up, the Gyrfalcon had just finished a pass at the owl and was turning to go again. It made another pass and then perched on the pole for a few minutes before heading to Lott Farm.
With the number of birders looking for the Gyrfalcon without much luck, I wonder if it was associating with the thousands of Snow Geese on the same field just the day before. The Snow Geese have been scarce here since. https://www.flickr.com/photos/105424358@N06/31387172943/in/datetaken-public/ [X]Gyrfalcon and Snowy Owl 1-5-17 Thorpe rd<https://www.flickr.com/photos/105424358@N06/31387172943/in/datetaken-public/> [https://farm1.staticflickr.com/347/31387172943_198ed634e7_b.jpg] <https://www.flickr.com/photos/105424358@N06/31387172943/> [https://farm1.staticflickr.com/347/31387172943_198ed634e7_b.jpg] -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
