The big highlight in downtown Bellingham today was a Gyrfalcon that took a gull at 20' above a major intersection at 5 PM, at the height of rush-hour traffic. The Gyr dragged the gull to the sidewalk and started in on its dinner, oblivious to traffic and humans less than 10' away!
A remarkable sighting, to say the least, even though the jesses indicate that a falconer is missing a bird.

I have photos but I was e-yelled at last time I posted so someone should let me know what I should do next.

Cheers,
