SLATY-BACKED GULL - still present at marina in Prescott as well as adult Glaucous Gull and adult Thayer's (with dark head).
MOUNTAIN BLUEBIRD - Blaine Seeliger Conny Brunell, Donn Mattsson and I had this female at exact spot where I found it yesterday. I've posted a better image taken today to "Recently Seen". This bird hangs out with a small group of Cedar Waxwings.
GYRFALCON - On a tip from Blaine, who had seen the gyr this morning, we stopped by 180th just east of Hi 52 and after a few minutes watched the gray morph falcon make a run at a flock of Canada Geese. It then perched on a sprinkler system located in the middle of the section. Last night there were perhaps 8,000+ geese and hundreds of mallards at this same location, so this should be a great spot to see the falcon for a while.
Also, flock of ~ 400 longspurs and a few snow buntings at this same location.
Good brrrrrding.
