Hi Tweets,

On Friday, while birding on the Skagit flats, I think I got a brief look at
a Gyrfalcon. I was near Sunset road, looking south from the white Lutheran
(?) church, into a field. Large falcon with a uniform gray back and no
obvious 'helmet' head markings (i.e., probably not a Peregrine Falcon).

Does anyone know if a Gyrfaclon has been seen in those parts this year?
