At 7:32 this morning (Sunday) the Gyrfalcon flew across the field between 
MN55 and Dakota Cnty 42 going E and lit on the top of the last power pole on the 
south side of MN55 (just where the lines cross over the road where the road 
curves to the left, going east) near the mile marker (216?). After a 10 minute 
survey it dropped and flew to the top of an oak tree further northeast in a 
tough to describe spot. A few minutes later ducks and geese started milling 
around and lighting in a meltpond in the field visible from 42. I assume the Gyr 
was waiting for them.
