GYRFALCON/ Weld County

[Rachel Hopper]

COBirdsrs,

I just had a GYRFALCON on Hwy 14 just west of RD. 47 in Weld.

The bird flew south along Hwy 14 & then crossed the rd, & flew north into a field west of 47 & then dove to the ground near Owl Creek. I have not seen it come back up so I assume it caught prey.

For inquiring minds, this is approx. 37 miles east of the Larimer landfill. 

There is no access to the field where the gyr went to the ground. I am currently sitting on Rd. 47 facing north to see if the bird comes back to a visible area. Coordinates below.

Walt Wehtje and I drove a circuit around the Weld Gyr location this morning without success. No geese either. We are heading 37 miles further east in hopes of finding it or another. ;-)

Will update COBIRDS and the new Colorado RBA Facebook page if we find anything juicy.
