~The Ulster County Gyrfalcon on a nice perch on Bruyn Turnpike in Wallkill, NY, 2\/10\/15.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I received word from Denise Farrel that the Gyrfalcon had been relocated for the fourth straight day while I was at work today.\u00a0It was a beautiful day out with nice light, so I headed up to Ulster County right after work to see if I could see the bird. I knew when I saw the first traffic jam ever on Bruyn Turnpike that I would indeed be able to see the bird. The bird was perched on a fence post way out in a field, where it stayed for some time but then eventually headed back north. Karen Miller had also come straight from work and\u00a0finally caught up with the bird (third times a charm). We both went to the Grasslands to see what was going on there, but there was not much activity, just one distant Rough-legged Hawk. After Karen left, I sat with Ralph Tabor and we waited for the Short-eared Owls. It was a gorgeous night with a fabulous sky and although they got up a little late for photos, Ralph and I enjoyed watching 7 Short-eared Owls put on a nice show. What a great way to end the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
