10:45 a.m., Tuesday, 2014-10-21"Raptor Magnet" Alby Thoumssin just called and said he had just seen a large FALCON chased off a utility pole by ravens, and it was larger than the ravens. He said overall the bird did not seem to have much in the way of contrasting colors, and seemed to have a large body. He suspects Gyrfalcon, but hopes someone else will find and photograph the bird!
The location was at the intersection of Meadowview and Alvadore roads, which is a little less than 2 miles west of Hwy. 99, NW of Eugene, NE of Fern Ridge Reservoir, and SE of Junction City.
