[obol] Local RBA-WashCo PRAIRIE FALCON

[Lars and Gail Norgren]

      A PRAIRIE FALCON was at ROY 10am Jan 2..
Roy is reached by turning south on Mtndale Rd
off Hwy 26. This is right at the Tillamook Jct
(Hwy 6). The bird was on the 7th utility pole
to the east of Evers Rd on Reiling Lane(or Rd).
This is just about a mile south of "downtown
Roy". I turned around from my vantage point
and went home with it still perched on that
pole. Falcons are routine in this area in
winter but I have seen no Prairie Falcons
here in 14 years. I saw 25 Horned Larks
in the field immediately south of this falcon
last winter(maybe early March). Lars Norgren
