I just got home and wasn't able to post earlier. At about 12:10 I saw the Gyrfalcon on Brick Yard Line between Bethel Rd. and Nauvoo Rd. across from house #7664. It flew by extremely fast and low with relatively slow steady wing beats. It was a fairly brief look since it passed so quickly, but the pointed wings were very apparent. It was heading east in a straight line. After I lost it, I thought I saw a fast moving bird heading back west in the distance, but I can't be sure it was the same bird.
I also saw the male Northern Harrier a couple of hours later with others.
