Deb and Steve Falkowski reported a Gyrfalcon near the town of Virginia on the 17th on the open mine dump hills south of town, on the east side of Manganika Lake. It was viewable by cross-country skiing (or snowshoeing) only -- there are no roads into this area.
GPS coordinates: Lat 47.49711115876799 Long -92.55912780761719 They also said they saw the bird on the 10th, and that it was sitting on the same perch on the 17th. It was apparently there for nearly an hour and then flew north into town, so it may still be in the area.
