This beautiful Gyr Falcon was braving the wet weather , although he didn't really have any choice as the heavy rain arrived out of nowhere so I figure it caught everyone out.
This is the largest species of falcon, and they are popular as hunting birds. They have a wide range across Arctic coastal regions, tundra and northern North America as well as what is referred to as the Eurosiberian region. They have different coloured plumage depending on the area they live.
One final fact it is the official bird of Canada's Northwest Territories...
