| Remarks : | This photo is over exposed, but I wanted to keep the exact plumage tones. I have done a lot of research on this bird and consider it to be a Siberian Saker (sp.Cherrug/milvipes X), North central Asia. I have never seen a Saker this pale before, very Gyr-like with which they are closely associated. - BIJ |
