| Hawks, particularly the rough-legged hawk and gyrfalcon, wheel and soar through the air on the lookout for lemmings or young ptarmigan. |
| The gyrfalcon is the best-proportioned and most active member of the Falcon tribe. |
| Bird species include peregrine and gyrfalcon, eagles, ruffed grouse, rock ptarmigan, loons, ducks and swans. |
| Four characteristic birds of prey include the snowy owl, gyrfalcon, osprey, and rough-legged hawk. |
| When we get there it doesn't look promising, but there are a few sops for me: a handful of curious seals, a gyrfalcon, and rafts of eider ducks. |
| They've both become superb birders, too, able to distinguish in a wing beat, for example, a gyrfalcon from a peregrine falcon during a brief aerial tussle. |
