Gyrfalcon and Short-eared Owl

By D. Bruce YoltonFebruary 17, 2015December 24, 2020Eagles, Falcons, Hawks and Osprey, Extralimital, Owls

I went up to Ulster County, NY to see the Gyrfalcon that has around for a few weeks.  The bird, which depending on the day has been easy to find or hard to find, was very cooperative today.

In addition to the Gyrfalcon, I was able to photograph a Short-eared Owl.  Definitely worth driving for four hours!
