Patricia and Tweeters,
The west 90 Gyr was seen yesterday at about 2:30 first over the hunting area, and then perched on the 4th telephone pole to the east. Over the hunting area it was circling with a Peregrine and a juvenile Bald Eagle. Seemed rather curious to us until the Gyr broke away and landed on the pole. Then we noticed that the falcon had a Dunlin clutched in its talons. It proceeded to finish off the Dunlin, cleaned its bill and talons and then headed east toward the barn that is falling down near the 3 way stop sign. The Gyr alit in a tree there.
Overall a 4 falcon (sp) day with lots of other interesting birds. These included a pheasant at the Samish bridge hanging around with a bunch of Ravens. No Wurdemann's, or hybrid heron was seen there.
Hope this is helpful.

Has anyone seen the Gyrfalcon in Snohomish recently? How about the West 90?

Thanks,
