That White Gyrfalcon, although obviously trained for hunting larger prey, displayed all of the characteristics of the breed - speed, power, stamina, determination and a single-minded commitment to the task at hand! Hell of a Bird, and Awesome vid!!

Very Cool! :mrgreen:

Thanks for sharing! Took me back to the hills in the Arctic (the Gyr's home) for just a moment or two...

Cheers,
Nog

That filming was incredible thanks for posting. Perseverance by the Gyr is incredible.

Absolutley Amazing! We need some of those to take care of some the geese in the GVRD in areas we can't hunt. I would love to watch that on a sunday afternoon. A

Kind of long and drawn out,I was pulling for the goose. Not a very clean kill. I guess it's tough with no beak and no talons. Don't know if I owned a falcon like that if I would get too excited about watching it take 10 minutes to kill a goose. I guess it's just me,didn't turn my crank at all.

I was anchord on the fraser and a small flock of wood ducks were flying in front of us when i see some thing streack out of the sky and smoke a duck out of the sky the duck was able to flap off and i watched the falcon type bird fly off very cool to see feathers flew every where.
