[nysbirds-l] Bohemian Waxing

[nysbirds-l] Gyrfalcon NO 2/12

David Burg and I scoured the area around Blue Chip Farm & the Shawangunk Grasslands in Wallkill for the Gyrfalcon today from about 9-1. We did not locate the bird; however, we also noted a surprising absence of other birders, only encountering 2 or 3, so it's entirely possible the bird was

Re: [nysbirds-l] Shawangunk Gyr Falcon 2/11 Not Seen

Thanks for the update Curt. There was someone reporting online to have seen this bird yesterday around 2:00 pm near Bryun Turnpike. I asked for clarification but did not get any. I was curious whether this was a single observation given the many people that were reported to be onsite. Not that it
