No GYR

Today and yesterday I went out searching for the Gyrfalcon that has been seen in Hadley the last couple of weeks.  Though a few people think they had glimpses, I'm a bit skeptical as there were Merlin, Peregrines, Harriers, Red-taileds, and Rough-legs around, and people tend to see what they want.  But hey, I'm still jealous.

I did however see some great songbirds along Aqua Vita Road where someone had spread seed along the road.  Lots of Snow Buntings, Horned Larks, and Savannah Sparrows, along with a Clay-colored and Vesper Sparrow.
