ARCTIC Natural History of the Gyrfalcon in the Central Canadian Arctic
Each year 14-18 territories were occupied. The mean intemest distance was 10.6 k m, giving one of the highest recorded densities for the species. There was a tendency for regularity in spacing of territories. Most (85%) nests were in abandoned stick nests of common ravens or golden eagles. Rough-leg...
