 I was there today with Randy Schutz and no one had seen. This was between 930 
and 11am or so. What coloring does it have?

I was able to view a perched Gyrfalcon from the platform at the Wallkill 
National Wildlife Preserve tonight, at sunset. It was distant, but was flushed 
by several Northern Harriers and then the Gyrfalcon flew towards me.  I have 
pictures for documentary purposes.  I recommend scopes/binoculars for viewing.  
An exciting bird for Orange County!

Re: [nysbirds-l] GYRFALCON - Livonia, NY (2/21/2016)

[Andrew Baksh]

Thanks Chris in getting the Intel and posting.

Congratulations on an excellent find and very well documented photos Dianne. 

Birders, please note a White Gryfalcon was reported in Clarion County PA 
yesterday. It was not seen today so who knows where that one will end up.

Cheers,

Re: [nysbirds-l] Gyrfalcon updates??

[Tim Healy]

I was on location all day, watched the sun rise and set. Scanned Blue Chip, 
Shawangunk, and roads along the river between Walkill and Gardiner. Lots of 
birders were on site and no one encountered the falcon. The Greater 
White-fronted Goose continues in the flock at Blue Chip, and some of us spotted 
two Cackling Geese among the many Canadas roosting at Old Fort Road's pond. A 
handful of Short-eared Owls and Northern Harriers put on twilight show at 
Shawangunk, closing the day on a high note. Good luck to anyone who tries to 
relocate the Gyr. 

Cheers!

Re: [nysbirds-l] Gyrfalcon updates??

[Larry Trachtenberg]

I understand as of 2 pm today the gyrfalcon had not been seen and many birders 
were looking all day. I also read on an NjBIRDS post that a photographer 
acknowledges finding a Gyr viewing location yesterday afternoon where he was 
"hidden" behind an evergreen that allowed for "optimal viewing". The bird then 
took off or so the report states (and apparently has not been seen by anyone 
since).  I don't know him and certainly can't judge how close he got or the 
propriety of a photographer getting close to such a rare bird -- a topic of 
much comment through the years -- or whether his proximity had anything to do 
with the bird taking off. It may just be hunkered down on this overcast day and 
will show up again at Blue Chip Farm later today or tomorrow. I can say the 
linked photo is really an excellent one.  His photos are posted under the nom 
de plume "Larry Bird". As a Celtics fan since birth and growing up in Boston 
during the Russell, Havlicek, Sam and KC Jones era you just can't call yourself 
Larry Bird -- there being only one. Go Celts. Good luck with the Gyr if you're 
there or if you go. Would be a lifer for me.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Gyrfalcon - NO

Subject: [nysbirds-l] Gyrfalcon - NO

Hi all,
At sunrise today Rich Fried and I were on the dock at Cedar Beach Marina with 
hopes to see the Gyrfalcon that was found on Wednesday and seen yesterday 
morning. After a couple of hours and with 3 other birders also looking for it 
we decided to go and check other locations.

When we arrived at Gilgo the fog had rolled in and it was so thick that we 
could barely discern the gates and perhaps half of the parking lot. You 
couldn't even tell that there was a dock and water beyond. So we turned around 
and drove back. Cedar Beach was also socked in fog by then so we continued to 
Captree, which was virtually void of birds. Next we stopped at the Coast Guard 
Station, where the sand bar was occupied by a large flock of Brant, regular 
gulls and a few shorebirds.

At West End II we found a large flock of Snow Buntings (120+) that was moving 
between the swale and parking lot.

After another stop at Cedar Beach Marina we made our last stop at Point 
Lookout, where we enjoyed watching one male Harlequin Duck, 4 Purple Sandpiper, 
a handful of Sanderling and cirka one hundred Dunlin on one of the breakwaters. 
Common and Red-throated Loons were on the water, small flocks of Black Scoters 
flew west to east, and further out a dozen or so Northern Gannets were feeding.

good birding on an unusually warm December spring-like day,

Anders Peltomaa
Manhattan

Re: [nysbirds-l] Gyrfalcon ?

[Arie Gilbert]

Jack et al,

After Doug's report yesterday , we arrived ~ 9:30 to be told that the 
bird had just flown. Many people were on station at Cedar beach; I was 
there until 2:30 but the bird had not returned.  it is a BIG area. Most 
likely the bird is the same one that has been in this area before, and 
will return to one or more favored perches.


The morning maybe the best time, today not withstanding due to the fog,

so... you may get it right away, or you may have to wait a long time, or 
you may dip, like I did yesterday.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Gyrfalcon

I neglected to mention that Mark got some awesome photos of the Gyr nabbing
a Mallard in flight, and then fighting off two Red-tailed Hawks trying to
claim the carcass on the ground. The photos can be viewed here:

Re:[nysbirds-l] gyrfalcon _ _ _ YES!

[Curt McDermott]

Gyrfalcon new location.  Having not has enough earlier today, Clara and I 
returned to see the Gyr again.  It is currently on Bruyn Tpk., 1/2 mile east of 
the intersection of Hoagerburgh Rd.  The bird is perched across the field 
directly across from 350 Bruyn Tpk. As a second reference point, there is a 
yellow excavator on the property to the left of the bird.  When we first came 
upon it, it was feeding over a kill about 100yrds out in the field. NOTE:  
there is no shoulder on the side of the road!!! If you cross the white line, 
you will be towed out just as we were, in our 4x4 vehicle.

Good luck,
   Curt & Clara McDermott

Re: [nysbirds-l] Gyrfalcon

[Arie Gilbert]

  
  
I had an all too short but good look at the Gyrfalcon on the wing by
Tobay Beach, as it flew west ~noon on Saturday the 18th. 

It appears to be covering a very wide area, and its moving about may
be influenced by harassment from Peregrines. Also, vantage points
are very limited given the amount of habitat. Search via small boat
would be the most productive method if one were available.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Gyrfalcon

[Angus Wilson]

Jerry Liguori's insightful analysis was just what I hoping for and I'm sure
we all learned from it. The increasing availability of photos has also
helped to flesh out the identification and address (to the extent possible)
my initial concerns about ruling out a Gyr x ? hybrid, which I figured might
be causing the initial mixed conclusions by some very sharp observers. I
found John Gluth's shots (posted late last night on his flickr site)
particularly helpful in making up my own mind.

Please remember that Gyrfalcon  _IS_ a statewide NYSARC review species (not
so subtle hint there) and let's hope the bird can be re-found soon so that
others may enjoy it and get to apply their new knowledge.

A lot of people across the state and well beyond have contributed to the
excellent discussion and we are indebted to Hugh McGuinness for throwing the
first pitch, so to speak.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Gyrfalcon at Jones beach

[Angus Wilson]

A number of people have chimed in with enthusiastic endorsements of the ID
as a Gyr (and they may well be right) but I am still puzzled by the fact
that many of the actual observers at the weekend were willing to accept it
as a large (tundrius) Peregrine, albeit with some hesitancy. Otherwise, why
weren't there any headline postings from that day?

Is it because the overall jizz did not quite fit with people's
expectations/experience? This worries me. To be fair, a bird can sometimes
be too close or in an unfamiliar context and this confounds an otherwise
straightforward ID. A good example of this is when one is confronted with a
dead bird. Sometimes familiar species can be baffling at first, especially
for people not used to looking at specimens. Coming back to the bird in
question, is it a case that the bird was initially called a Peregrine and
nobody felt entirely comfortable in challenging that initial ID without
further study? Having a pile of photos is great - the flight shots are
really spectacular - but it is important not to ignore the impressions of
people who saw the bird in life.

I'm still hoping to see photos of the landed bird (ideally in a tree with
the body held in a typical upright fashion) so that we can better evaluate
the wing to tail proportions. I have seen a few shots of the bird on the
ground standing over the Herring Gull carcass but as I recall, the tail tip
was obscured. Maybe there are more suitable images out there?

Anyway, lets not close the case files right awat. I personally don't think
it is a simple slam dunk and working through the ID carefully will
undoubtedly be a valuable learning opportunity for all of us.
