The Gryfalcon was likely seen by two separate observers this afternoon to the
east of Conestogo Lake. One person saw a large falcon fly over "Third Line and
Sideroad 18, east of county road 12 and south of 4th line" and the other person
saw a large falcon flying low over a field along 4th line near County Rd 12 at
around 4 p.m. today. County Rd 12 is to the east of Conestogo Lake, south of
Drayton.

Subject: [Ontbirds] Gyrfalcon near Conestogo Lake C.A. (Wellington County)
An old report from some time yesterday (25 November) - A Gyrfalcon was seen
near Conestogo Lake in Wellington County, south of Drayton. Apparently it was
not posted on OntBirds due to sensitivity issues (photographers). I can't
imagine this is more of a problem for this species than any other species. It
may well not be seen again. It was posted on the Ontario Birds Facebook group
but I thought I would post it here to the 3,000+ OntBirds subscribers,
especially those that do not subscribe to a commercial enterprise like Facebook.
