Sable (Gyrfalcon/ Peregrine Falcon Hyrbid)

Sable is a Gyrfalcon/Peregrine Falcon hybrid. She hatched in 2008 under human care near Spokane, Washington, and trained as a falconry bird. Sable flew for 14 seasons, successfully hunting hundreds of quarries. Now retired, she has found a home at the Alaska Raptor Center to be cared for (and adored!) in her golden years. Sable is a resilient and high-spirited bird, with a lot to teach us about falcons and falconry.
