I saw a very large falcon late this afternoon in Fort Tilden. It looked identical to the dark adult Gyrfalcon in Sibley's, and after watching it for nearly five minutes I id'ed it as a Gyrfalcon and entered it into ebird. I also had some great views of more common birds, like long tail ducks, common eiders and a black scoter.
