The Gyrfalcon was present on a distant osprey platform NW of the Gilgo Beach parking lot where it remained from about 8 until 12:20. At that point it was flushed by boat traffic and flew east, perching on a low dock frame across the channel. Some opportunistic NJ birders chartered a passing boat and obtained excellent photos of the bird perched on the osprey tower.
