Re: [cobirds] Gyrfalcon, Larimer cty, 12/18 just flew

The beast reappeared from the grasses after eating what I think was some sort of small mammal as it had a full crop and is now perched on a fence pole in the same area.

At 3:15 the Gyrfalcon flew from its perch on the post east of Taft hill rd and just south of the landfill (about 12 utility poles) after having spent many hours there.  It circled around the low spot of the fields in the area, appeared to catch some prey and then disappeared amongst the tall grasses in that spot.  I don't believe it flew out of that area.  There are three wooden poles with green tips.  It was to the south of the middle pole by about 20 ft.
