Joseph Wolf (1820-1899), Norwegian Gyrfalcon

During the breeding season, a family of Gyrfalcons needs an estimated 2–3 pounds of food per day. That’s about 2-3 ptarmigans per day, which adds up to about 150-200 ptarmigan consumed between courtship and fledging.

UM. Warcross arc alert! #Warcross captains from the Phoenix Riders, the Demon Brigade, the Winter Dragons, and other Warcross teams will be milling about at #BookCon . If you find them, you could win an arc, among other gorgeous swag. All the details at the Penguin booth! I'm going to be tracking the captains for sure, so maybe we'll bump into each other. 😎👍 #Warcross #PhoenixRiders #DemonBrigade #WinterDragons #Andromeda #CloudKnights #Gyrfalcons
