I took advantage of the "snow day" today to run out to Brownsmead
with my video camera. I found the GYRFALCON in a tree near the
junction of Barendse Rd and Brownsmead Dike Rd. The captures can
be found at:

There were lots of RED-TAILS and they appear to be pairing up.
I also got very nice looks at the striking dark phased ROUGH-LEGGED
HAWK.
