This morning yielded an unsuccessful try at the Yellow-billed Loon in Two Harbors, but while walking around the lighthouse a Gyrfalcon zipped right in front of my mom and I. It was a very light individual, probably a gray phase. It headed southwest across Agate Bay, and we lost it in the background of the trees. It was heading downshore, so watch the Duluth area for one tomorrow or in the next few days. Also Owls were present in many places, including 4 Great Grays and 1 Hawk Owl in Carlton County. They were all along Hwy. 210 from mile markers 195-206.
