mirdam-aves:The gyrfalon (Falco rusticolus) is the largest falcon. It nests in the arctic and subarctic regions of North America, Europe, Asia, Greenland, and Iceland. Throughout the history of falconry the gyrfalcon has been highly regarded by falconers. In fact, during the middle ages only a king could hunt with a gyrfalcon.Photo credits: Paul Jones, Kanja Heiterwerden (I’m aware that the second one is a phrase in German, and not a name.) -- source link
