I will be flying into Seattle for a birding trip to the Waterville Plateau
early next week. I tried to do this trip last year but got snowed out. I
hope to see Gray Partridge (planning to hit a few grain elevators including
Withrow) and Sharp Tailed Grouse (early morning at West Foster Creek) and
would love the opportunity to see a Gyrfalcon but I haven't seen any recent
reports of the one at McChord. Is it still around? Are there any other
good spots?

I'll take any and all tips on these 3 species.

Thanks in advance,
