Dear Tyson and Vafa:

My wife and I were up at Samish Flats last weekend and saw plenty of raptors
(10 bald eagles, 2 Northern Harriers, 2 Snowy Owls, and 1 rough-legged(?)
hawk,) but no gyrfalcons. It was very wet, so I would advise wearing rubber
boots. We saw the Snowys out on the dike. Good luck!
