On a quest for a five falcon day on the Skagit Flats I observed a Snowy
Owl (actually before I saw any falcons). The bird was in the fields
between Sunset and Field Roads just West of Thomas Road. It is a tagged
bird (#12). Got very good and close looks thanks to a friendly homeowner
who allowed me into her yard to see the bird.

As far as the five falcon day? Missed the Gyr but had 3 or more
Peregrines and 1 each of the other three. (Thanks to Bud Anderson, Ed
Diehl and Martin Muller for their help spotting falcons)

Happy New Year.
