Although the written description doesn’t include much detail the photo is sufficient to confirm the identification of Gyrfalcon

Face pattern in photo is consistent with Gyr, also the tail extending much further than wingtips. Only other possible candidate would be Prairie Falcon, but written report notes lack of dark axillaries in flight.

I sure would've liked a more definitive description and a more thorough competing species section in the report, but the accompanying image confirmed the identification for me.
