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! :)
