Announcement for birders, NF

[Dave Bailey]

I know there's a number of birders on here, so you might like to know that there is confirmation of a white phase gyrfalcon hanging around the parking lot of the old Golden Mile plaza at Victoria Park and Eglinton. This is quite a rarity for this area so I'll be heading out today with the family.

 

If you go please remember basic birding etiquette; don't pester it for photos, don't get in the way of others, and don't do anything to make us unwelcome by the plaza management. I shouldn't have to stress those things, but there's always someone...

Yep, lots of gyrfalcons being reported in Ontario, as well as Boreal Owls starting to move down already.

Cool, I'd love to see that, thanks for letting us know.

 

I was playing cat and mouse with a red tailed hawk today. He won as you can see here :

Missed it today. Apparently it has jesses on the legs, so it's a bird lost by a falconer. I hope it belonged to the guy I'm thinking of, because he's a Grade 'A' jerk!
