FYI Larimer Landfill is closed for trash dumping this morning due to high
winds. I don’t know if birders will be allowed onto the dump area but I doubt

Hello all,
I am an out of town birder who will have a shot tomorrow to search for the
Gyrfalcon. This would be a most desired lifer for me. I have been reviewing
the posts (thanks all!) and am curious what the best strategy would be to try
and respectfully see this bird tomorrow. Is it just
It indeed was closed for safety issues at least late morning. Understand that
winds were over 50 mph in the Ft. Collins area. No gyrfalcon on poles in the

side of Taft at the Trilby/Taft intersection. Trilby, is paved on the east side
of Taft, but is a dirt road on the west side, where there is lots of easy and

I was there on Sunday and Monday. You
