Dear Tweeters,
Today, the 23rd December, a Gyrfalcon flew by the dredge-spoil islets in Padilla Bay. I was trying to relocate the Emperor Goose just one more time, scoping from the berm by the "Seahawks 12" tower. That is across the road from the big T. Bailey industrial site at the SE corner of March Point. 
I did not see the Emperor Goose, but the Gyrfalcon was a welcome consolation prize. It flew low along the dredge spoils, heading north, scaring up some Pintail and Wigeon. Then it perched for a good ten minutes on some driftwood on one of the islets. This was only the third time I'd seen a Gyrfalcon at March Point.
I am not sure if this message will reach Tweeters. I am trying to switch my e-mail address from my old Yahoo address to a new one, which is this:
garybletsch at protonmail.com

but have not yet figured out how to get signed up on Tweeters with this new address. Somehow in the process, it is now apparently difficult or impossible for me to send messages to Tweeters on my old e-mail account, at least not without typing in the Tweeters e-mail address one character at a time. Meanwhile, Tweeters is giving me some static about my new account--perhaps because ProtonMail is so secure?
It would be most appreciated if someone in Tweeter-land were to reply to this message, to let me know that I am still able to send messages to Tweeters.
Yours truly,
Gary Bletsch
