An acquaintance who lives on Waegwoltic Avenue in south end Halifax told me recently that he saw a large pale grey falcon fly fast over his house, travelling east from the harbour towards the west (Northwest Arm). This sighting was in mid/late February. He saw the angular wings of a falcon and was impressed by the size and powerful build of the bird. He was convinced that he saw a Gyrfalcon, and didn't think it was a Peregrine. He is interested in birds and we share sightings, but I think he was a more active observer while growing up in England than he has been here. I would think Goshawk would be a more likely ID, given that they are occasionally seen in the Fleming Park/Williams Lake area, which is just across the Arm from his neighbourhood. Have there been any sightings of Gyrfalcons in the Halifax area this winter? Any thoughts? Cheers, Patricia L. Chalmers Halifax
