regard to this bird on about Dec 2 of 2012..though love it to be a Gyr

Obolers,
Jeff St. Clair just sent me the following message about a near white
Gyrfalcon that he found today in the Brownsmead area in Clatsop County
while conducting his monthly raptor survey for the East Cascades Audubon
Society's Winter Raptor Survey Project.
"Big day today on lower Columbia run. Saw an almost pure white Gyr in a
large cottonwood near intersection of Rudat Road & gerttula lane. It was a
speck of white in a distant tree, but became clear in scope. Faint barring
on breast, grayish malar marking on head. Watched it for about 20 minutes
before it took flight."
Hope it is still around tomorrow for someone else to enjoy! :)
