Review

"If this book can’t answer any questions one might have on the Gyrfalcon, then the answer is not out there! A very important book.”—Noble Proctor, ornithologist

"If this book can't answer any questions one might have on the gyrfalcon, then the answer is not out there! A very important book."-Noble Proctor, Ph.D., ornithologist (Noble Proctor )

Book Description

This book is the definitive guide to the largest and most charismatic species of falcon in the world, the Gyrfalcon. With detailed information on life history characteristics, ecology, conservation issues, and much more, the book presents the most accurate, up-to-date, and complete view of this spectacular bird ever published.

Drawing on extensive research and travel to every country within the range of the Gyrfalcon, Eugene Potapov and Richard Sale delineate a new map of the bird’s range, conclude that the Gyrfalcon is more adaptable than previously thought, and restore the traditional Linnean scientific name of the species, Falco gyrfalco. The authors also reveal that Gyrfalcons, for much of their lives, are true stenophagous raptors, a rarity not only among raptors but among all birds.

Elegantly illustrated with many photographs and line drawings, this is an essential volume for ornithologists, ecologists, wildlife rehabilitators, falconers, and all others fascinated by birds of prey.

5.0 out of 5 stars VERY Informative book on the Gyrfalcon, Oct 6 2005

By Aimee Pico "Aimee Pico, Lake Milton Raptor Ce... - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The Gyrfalcon (Hardcover)

This book is a great information pertaining to the gyrfalcon. But this book is not for the layman. You have to have a biology background to understand what the information is telling you. The authors take all the studies and research of the gyr and put it all into this book. But all and all, I agree, this book will answer any questions one would have of the gyr. As a falconer, raptor educator of the gyr, I have learn alot about this wonderful species that I did not find in other souces.
