The reason that species are blocked and hidden as "sensitive" in eBird
could be from a multitude of reasons. In terms of the Gyrfalcon, it is a
bird at risk for capture and trade by falconers. Exposing the location of
such a prized species through public records could spell trouble for the
bird. Ye
I saw a snowy owl this afternoon about 4:30pm sitting on top of a telephone
pole on Kime Road just west of 96A.

Dave, Do you have an approximate time on your Peregrine?, Location? We
were on the other side of the lake when flight after flight of panicky

where
awesome views of waterfowl were possible.
East Shore Park had
Within two miles of home here in the SW corner of the basin we had three
large flocks of buntings, one in excess of 200 birds. Photo on our FB
page. Horned Lark flocks nearby were also large. Had a Rough-legged

the field for o
Ken Kemphues and I will lead a half-day Cayuga Bird Club field trip this
Sunday, January 21. We will meet at Stewart Park (east end) at 8:00 am and

We'll look at waterfowl along the southern end of Cayuga Lake and also

To that point…
I don’t fully understand how a Gyrfalcon in winter (in the Lower 48), or any
falcon in winter for that matter, is considered a “sensitive species” such that
it gets blocked by eBird.
Snowy Owls actually make more sense to block over a Gyrfalcon, any day. Way too

NOT see it.
Also did not see either Snowy or Shorteared Owls in all that area around FL
