Larimer Gyrfalcon pic/video

[Glenn Elmore]

I took these pictures and video this morning between 0820 and 0830 Monday morning. It had been sunny but moved towards clouds. Temperature was about 28F and landfill and gulls were already active. No other birders obvious.

I missed both the arrival and was looking away at departure from the 4th tower west which was >400m west of where I parked not far from Taft Hill so as to give opportunity for a less disturbed perch.

Both the stills and the video taken with a hand-held Nikon P1000 so my apologies for the less-than-stellar quality.
