Hi there, Yesterday afternoon (8 January), Bree Tucker photographed a Gyrfalcon at the Laflèche landfill site, just east of Casselman. Photos are grainy and the bird was quite distant but it appears similar to the one seen in that area during a CBC on 3 January.
Directions, as per those provided by Jacques Bouvier: The Laflèche Rd landfill site is located at the dead end of Laflèche Road. From HWY 417 take HWY 138 south (exit 58), turning right on Laflèche road which is the first road south of the 417. The dump is at the end of the dead end road, however, the public is not allowed past the main gate. The road is fairly busy so it is best to park in one of the loading zones on the right, if possible. Good birding, Jon _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
