I looked for this bird today between 1pm and 2:30pm with no luck.  As a 
consolation I saw a single American Tree Sparrow at the feeder on the corner at 
the E. end of Swift St and a dark morph Rough-legged Hawk on Dorset St south of 
Swift (first seen in a tree west of 1505 Dorset St).  I admit that I succumbed 
to the desire of Gyr at first and I thought this bird could be a really 
slow-flying, occasionally-hovering, snow white-remiged Gyrfalcon that would 
occasionally perch on twigs, so I followed it as it was chased by Ravens east 
over Dorset St.  I resighted it as it crossed Cheesefactory rd, and it continued 
south and out of sight towards Shelburne Pond (where two folks were kite-skiing 
on the ice, and I watched them ski instead of birds). 


On the drive home I saw a Red-tailed Hawk in a tree near the big barn that 
overlooks the north part of Shelburne Pond from Dorset St.
