Southern Extension to the Breeding Range of the Gyrfalcon, Falco rusticolus, in Eastern North America

ABSTRACT. We report the observation of four gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus) nests and several adults south of the previously recognized southern limit of the species ’ breeding distribution in eastern North America. Our southernmost observation extends the known breeding range approximately 400 km to t...
