Thanks for sharing the video, Terry! I learned something new, beautiful bird! I bet the staff at the research station was surprised to see such an unusual visitor.

Thanks Terry! Nice candid shot of a beautiful bird!

That Gyrfalcon has absolutely no concept of the technology that permits humans the world over to view its actions. Imagine who/what may be watching us?!?!

What a gorgeous, stunning bird! I think it is great that they unknowingly put the camera stand in its territory and it has not been spooked off by it one bit!

Oh that is beautiful! I'm glad the video finally loaded for me today! The vid says they're rare in the wild, yet Wikipedia says "least concern" in regard to conservation status.
