@Qassimax definitely possible.
-
@jorensalinas: The Gyrfalcon is much faster, so it's not very likely that the Golden Eagle will get the chance to "kick its butt" ;-)
In the open air a falcon normally has an advantage over other birds of prey, even those bigger than itself.

@jageone just for you to know.. Golden Eagles kicks GyrFalcons butt... eagle is way bigger and stronger
-
The music doesn't really fit!
-
In fact the Gyrfalcon is much faster than a Peregrine in level flight - probably one of the fastest of all falcons.

Everybody believed this footage ? At 1mn50s, the ptarmigan flying is missing major primary feathers on both wings. So it is probably a baggy given by the cameraman.
At 1m44s, the gyrfalcon do not take the ptarmigan flying INTO the falcon : conclusion : the ptarmigan is definitly a baggy, gyr is not wild bird. Probably captive bred from some falconer hired by the cameraman for the footage. Flight of this gyr is weak in relation to a wild bird. No prey fly to its death, no wild gyr would miss it.

That's a beautiful bird. We have been to Spitsburgen but I guess we would need to go to Nunavut to see these and I think the cost may be too much for us.

I was privileged to see 4 gyrfalcons last week: it was a family group and the young were learning how to hunt willow ptarmigan!

Wow...that was neat! Gyrfalcons are like the wolves of the sky, that ptarmigan didn't even have a chance once those sharp talons were locked on. Five stars and a favorite!
