Spent a couple of hours late AM, early PM driving around with a of lot of other
birders looking for the Gyrfalcon. With mixed feelings I got to see my first
Gyrfalcon (white phase) being handled by a falconer on Lake Rd. Beautiful bird,
circled around and then pounced on a pheasant that he released. (His companion
told me he had captured a Gyrfalcon there 10 years ago for falconing.)
1 Snowy Owl (great looks in the top of the fir tree next to the house on W)
2 Rough-legged Hawks
1 Bald Eagle
3 Prairie Chickens (others saw large groups that I missed)
1 Northern Shrike
1 Red-tailed Hawk
50+ Snow Buntings
