[mou] Metro birding today

[Chris Benson]

The Gyrfalcon was seen at 4:30PM at the field on the south
side of 180th St.
It was perched on the irrigation structure
that runs north - south, on the crossbar that
runs east - west.
At 4:36 PM it flew west over and across US 52,
then turned a bit to the northwest before I lost
sight of the bird.
