Hello fellow birders,
Only moments after shutting down my computer last night (just after sending out my Ont birds posting on Gyrfalcon), the smaller and lighter coloured Gray-phase Gyrfalcon (of the two that have over-wintered the longest in the Sault) flew by my office window at very close proximity (as it flew by it turned its head and looked right at me - spooky). In addition: Song Sparrow suddenly appeared on the scene this morning. As I walked into work, I heard many singing over the 4.5km route (There were none to be heard yesterday). Grackle and Purple Finch numbers increased since yesterday.
