Falcon Jackpot


A good way to start off March ... at least through my eyes!  It's not even a great shot but any day that you can cross paths with the World's largest falcon ... I'll take that as a good day!  Yes, this was an O M G snapshot of a Gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus).  Not only the World's largest falcon but probably one of the top avian hunters around!  What would be their choice of meal:  pigeon, duck and other succulent birds!  Aaaaah ... to see one in action!  I might have to be better prepared and see if I can cross paths with this magnificent raptor again before Spring arrives!
