Dark-phase Gyrfalcon

Ebird Checklist: ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S12678748

A presumed young dark-phase Gyrfalcon, found in Lyman County, South Dakota on January 17th, 2010. I've never come across a Gyrfalcon in South Dakota that looked like this, with such dark overall coloring, especially around the face. One of the most regal looking birds I've ever found, and he was kind enough to sit still for a series of photographs.
