Hi all,
This morning as I was looking for Ross's Goose (no luck) among the over
10,000 Greater Snow Geese I came across 2 large birds in a small tree. As I
was about to look them over, they both flew out with the pointed-winged
GYRFALCON in a short half-hearted pursuit of the Rough-legged Hawk. The
falcon was the same size and colour (back) as the Rough-legged. The
Gyrfalcon was a uniform dark colour. The falcon flew back to the tree just
long enough for me to take 2 half-decent photos then it flew high up and
then headed South out of sight. It may be back as there are lots of Rock
Pigeons around area silos.
To me it looked like a dark morph juvenile.
See photos here:

DIRECTIONS: From Hwy 417 east of Casselman take exit 58 and proceed north
on Cty Rd 8 for about 1 km until you come to Concession 20 in the middle of
the long curve. Turn right (east) on Concession 20 then right (south) on
Concession 21. The birds were in the bush southwest of the first 90 degree
curve.
