Here are some photos in the link from around 8:30am today near on Trilby Road south of Larimer County Landfill. Such a treat to see! Thanks to Robert Beauchamp reporting yesterday!

Diane, any photos of the Gyrfalcon will not be visible to anyone but you on your checklist, even if the bird is confirmed, because ebird labels that bird as a sensitive species. In fact, the Gyrfalcon itself will not even show as one of the species on the checklist to the public, which is ebird's way of protecting the location of the sighting. If you want others to be able to see your photos (which is completely up to you) you will have to post the links of each individual photo from the Macaulay library.
Just letting you know that what you see on your checklist from your account is not the same as what we see! 
Congrats on photographing the Gyr!!!

Way to go Brandon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another shot at a ridiculous policy.
This censorship by eBird shows just how important Cobirds is.
