[cayugabirds-l] Gyrfalcon finally!!

2018-02-12 Thread Peter 
Folks after MANY attempts over the past two winters at looking for this 
Arctic "Fox" my friend, Janet Aiken, and I finally spotted the beautiful 
falcon this morning (2/12/18)around 10 a.m. We were traveling north on 
Seybolt Rd. just south of the Left turn that would put you onto Stahl 
Rd. when to our astonished eyes appeared the falcon. It was heading west 
on Stahl Rd. just about where Stahl meets Seybolt near the farm.  It 
quickly hung a left and headed south over the fields along the west side 
of Seybolt Rd. We had a wonderful look at the bird. Powerful flight, 
pointed wings, long tail. A real thrill. No doubt about it. Thanks for 
the folks who recently posted that the bird had returned.

[cayugabirds-l] Gyrfalcon - finally!

2015-02-26 Thread M Miller 
The Gyrfalcon was on Seybolt Rd (south of Seneca Falls) around Stahl Rd. It was 
first perched north of the large barns on Stahl Rd, but flew south along 
Seybolt. I was able to see it capture a Mallard in mid-air and start feasting 
on it. A red-tail hawk took over the kill, soon to be followed by a second 
red-tail. The gyrfalcon continually harassed them until it was able to reclaim 
it’s meal. Amazing show - guess it pays to be persistent, this being about my 
6th try to find this life bird.
