[Ontbirds] Gyrfalcon - Sudbury

2017-01-01 Thread David Pryor
I just had a gray phase gyrfalcon fly across Hwy 17, just east of the Kantola 
Rd & Fielding Road intersection in Sudbury.

It was being chased by a couple of Ravens and crossed the highway heading 
south. 

I suspect it was hanging around Fielding Park, which is located at the 
southeast portion of Kelly Lake.

[Ontbirds] Gyrfalcon - Sudbury

2015-02-14 Thread Henrique Pacheco
West end business park. Brown juvenile came from southview over the floodplain. 
Viewed by Henrique Pacheco, David Pryor, Deborah Pacheco, and Jim Carrey. Did 
not stay long at all. Great looks from behind the arena. 

West end business park behind the arena/training centre off Kelly Lake Rd.

[Ontbirds] Gyrfalcon, Sudbury

2014-01-14 Thread David Bell
While driving to Kelly Lake this morning I had the gray Gyrfalcon flying beside 
the highway and then land on a radio tower near the Long Lake Rd exit. Barb 
Charlton, Brett Fried and Amanda Guercio arrived just in time to see it before 
it took off in the direction of the lake. We haven't refound it yet but it 
should be here somewhere!
Kelly Lake is located on Southview Dr off Hwy 17.

The white-morph gyrfalcon was just perched on the roof of building 1351-C. This 
is the West End Business Park at 1351 Kelly Lake Road, which roughly adjoins 
Southview Road and borders the river which flows into Kelly Lake. 

A local birder, Grant Ens, just pulled up and also saw the bird with me just 
now. It just flushed to another building roof.

As per David Scott's Ontbirds post from last week regarding Kelly Lake 
gyrfalcons, sightings are by no means guaranteed; I have been in Sudbury 
visiting family for 5 days, have looked for the falcons each day, and today was 
the first time I have seen it. 

Kelly Lake Road can be accessed by driving north on Southview Road, then 
turning left at the stop sign. Southview Road has a direct exit from Hwy 17.
