THE FEEDING OF GYRFALCON (FALCO RUSTICOLUS, FALCONIFORMES, FALCONIDAE) IN KAMCHATKA
Bulletin оf Kamchatka State Technical University, 2022In Kamchatka, an investment project is being implemented for the artificial reproduction of rare species of falcons, primarily gyrfalcon. For successful breeding of birds, it is necessary to know their trophic preferences in nature. The article analyzes information on the nutrition of the gyrfalcon in Kamchatka, collected over the entire history of ...

Mercury in Feathers of Swedish Gyrfalcons,Falco Rusticolus, in Relation to Diet
Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 1984The gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus) is mainly a resident bird breeding in mountain areas in Fennoscandia. The population (estimated to 300-500 pairs) probably fluctuates according to the presence of willow grouse (Lagopus lagopus) and ptarmigan (Lagopus mutus). Little is known about pollutant levels in Fennoscandian gyrfalcons.

Persistent organochlorine levels in six prey species of the gyrfalcon Falco rusticolus in Iceland
Environmental Pollution, 2001Our previous investigations have revealed very high levels of organochlorines (OCs) in the Icelandic gyrfalcon Falco rusticolus, a resident top predator. We now examine six potential prey species of birds, both resident and migratory, in order to elucidate the most likely route of the OCs to the gyrfalcon.
