The other day I went out searching for raptors, my favorite birds to photograph. I was shocked to find this gyrfalcon on an open perch. This was the first raptor I found and my first bird photo of 2018. Started my year out with a bang!

Amazing find and a great picture, Rob. I wish it were mine.
I saw only two in the last twenty years and no picture at all.

Nice shot Bob. I never even heard about the Gyrfalcon in our area. Not a bad way to start a New Year.
