This stately fellow was in a tree seen from the highway just east of Prest Road just now. Probably could be seen with a scope from Prest Road if someone were to pull over in that pullout just north of the overpass?

I had a Gyrfalcon today at 12:50pm in a tree near highway 1 and upper prairie road. North of highway. Could be same as Gord’s bird.

I saw it yesterday morning, same location. Today its tree was being hogged by Bald Eagles and not surprisingly no Gyrfalcon.

I saw it yesterday and it spent most of the morning in its tree.

Is the bird on Prest Rd or Upper Prairie Rd or?

Probably check Prest. Seems hit or miss, though I may have just not found his tree yet.

Greetings,
I have seen it several times in a tree next to the highway. The tree is by a large container used as a billboard at the east edge of the field in the Northeast corner of the junction between Prest Rd and Highway 1. You likely will not see it from Prest Road unless scoped. If you are driving from Annis Rd to Prest Rd westbound on Highway 1 it is the last cluster of smallish trees that divide the fields on the north side of the highway prior to the Prest road exit.
Hope this helps.
Dave

I’ve seen a Gyrfalcon along Highway 1 near Upper Prairie Rd as well. If it there, driving from Annis Rd westbound on Highway 1 towards Prest, just past Upper Prairie road is a line of very tall trees parallel to the highway on the north side of the highway. The Gyrfalcon prefers the last tree where the top has broken off and the thick trunk ends.
