After the initial observation, the bird flew to the NW towards a feedlot area, not sure if it was relocated or not. I will probably try to get out to look for it today. With the front that came in over night including 40 mph NW winds, I doubt that it went anywhere unless it left yesterday afternoon. Good news is that we haven't gotten any precip out of this storm as of yet.....will update on that later also if that changes so that people can be aware of any potential road condition issues. I will post an update later if I know anything more. T. J.
