Gyrfalcon is a large Nordic falcon ( Falco rusticolus ) native to Arctic regions, prized for its speed and hunting prowess. As a noun, it refers to the bird itself or, in some contexts, to a person who resembles its keen, predatory focus. The term contrasts with more common falcons by size, plumage, and habitat, and is used primarily in ornithology and falconry discourse.
