The Gyrfalcon

The Gyrfalcon is the world's largest falcon. It inhabits the inhospitable Arctic Taiga, from Greenland and Iceland right across Siberia and northern Canada. Its plumage varies from a dark mottled grey to pure white. Like other titles in this series, this book covers all aspects of the species' biology, taxonomy, distribution, status and historical associations with man. The result is an exhaustively researched and readable biography of a spectacular bird, illustrated throughout with photographs and line drawings.
