Just saw the adult grey Gyrfalcon (10:15) as I came across from Wolfe to Kingston. It was about 1.5 km from the city. Incredibly it took on 2 Snowy Owls, taking a big clutch of feathers from the second. There is also a Peregrine Falcon around nearer the city. Great for comparison but beware of confusion.
The ferry to Wolfe Island leaves from Kingston roughly every hour but ‘slips’ a bit over lunch. If continuing to the island be warned that most of the roads are untreated and sheet ice. My usual journey of 8 minutes to the ferry took over half an hour this morning.
