Re: [cayugabirds-l] Gyrfalcon update please

To that point… I don’t fully understand how a Gyrfalcon in winter (in the Lower 48), or any falcon in winter for that matter, is considered a “sensitive species” such that it gets blocked by eBird. Snowy Owls actually make more sense to block over a Gyrfalcon, any day. Way too much stress is

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Gyrfalcon update please

I'll echo this appeal, please post to the list serve. We have to go old-school again with Ebird blocking some sightings. Gary -Original Message- From: bounce-122206716-3493...@list.cornell.edu [mailto:bounce-122206716-3493...@list.cornell.edu] On Behalf Of Joe DeVito Sent: Friday,

Dave, Do you have an approximate time on your Peregrine?, Location? We were on the other side of the lake when flight after flight of panicky geese cam flying up lake and over land. We were in the vicinity of Dean's Cove when that happened. John --- John and Sue Gregoire Field Ornithologists

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Gyrfalcon update please

The reason that species are blocked and hidden as "sensitive" in eBird could be from a multitude of reasons. In terms of the Gyrfalcon, it is a bird at risk for capture and trade by falconers. Exposing the location of such a prized species through public records could spell trouble for the bird.
