Largest species of falcon -

Gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus)


I know, not a herp but still a magnificent animal.

omgoodness. That is beautiful! Look at those talons. I've always been facinated by birds of prey. Thanks for posting!

Vary Nobel looking.

Beautiful falcon.

I like the bird's of prey too Jesse. They are really beautiful and graceful. Like to watch them whenever I can see them.

Birds of prey are such incredible animals. I actually saw four turkey vultures eating roadkill in a neighborhood road in Norfolk today. I see them all the time out in the country but was amazed to see them here in the city, perching on houses.

There was a falcon (I think) on the interstate yesterday that was injured and the police blocked off three lanes for it. Nice act.
