Well, with grey legs, this GYR certainly isn't the bird I photographed, which
had bright yellow legs.
GYR can have bright yellow legs however; lots of such birds on internet.
It does show the characteristic tail extending considerably beyond the folded
wing though.
Looking again at my photos, the tail surely does seem similar to this GYR,
but the head
does look like PEFA............

Hi there! Attached is a photo of the gyrfalcon I saw during a Coastal Raptors
survey at Long Beach on January 14. A friend sent me a link to your post on
ABA Birding News. I am behind in postings on the Coastal Raptors website, but
do plan to post the photo and a bit more info. You have my blessing to share
the photo anywhere and with anyone! Your description of the bird's location
was correct.
