Review
"a good read, presenting much previously inaccessible information, as well as some interesting insights into some of the most remote and inhospitable places on earth." Ian Newton British Birds (Feb 2006) "A well-writen and a beautifully produced book." Ornithos (2005) "A fascinating read." BTO News (Jan/Feb 2006) "Well writen and informative...This book is highly recommeneded...In my opinion, it is equal to the best in single-species raptor books yet published." William S Clark Birdwatch (March 2006) "There is no doubt that this is a scholarly work and probably one of the most valuable and comprehensive on this species." Scottish Bird News (December 2005)

About 10,000 years ago, at the end of the last great Ice Age, the plains of Siberia and much of western and northern Europe formed a single ecological unit, one which extended as far south as Mongolia and Kazakhstan, north to the edge of the Arctic Ocean and across Beringia (the Bering land bridge) into North America.

VERY Informative book on the Gyrfalcon
7 Oct 2005
Format:Hardcover
This book is a great information pertaining to the gyrfalcon. But this book is not for the layman. You have to have a biology background to understand what the information is telling you. The authors take all the studies and research of the gyr and put it all into this book. But all and all, I agree, this book will answer any questions one would have of the gyr. As a falconer, raptor educator of the gyr, I have learn alot about this wonderful species that I did not find in other souces.
