A photographer in a Hawk ID group on Facebook posted some nice photos of a dark-morph Gyrfalcon (much darker than the Wallkill bird) that was apparently attacking gulls at Charlotte Pier in Rochester yesterday (2/16).
I haven't heard of any other sightings or photos, but hopefully some of the Rochester-area birders can track this bird down if they're willing to brave the cold! -Scott -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
