The Agile Falcon is Precise, Fast, and Wise

The falcons, one of the fastest predators, use a variety of techniques to seek, attack, and kill prey. Peregrine Falcons catch birds in the air with swift, spectacular dives, called stoops. In cities they are masterful at catching pigeons. Elsewhere they feed especially on shorebirds and ducks. They often sit on high perches, waiting for the right opportunity to make their aerial assault. Scientists estimate that falcon vision is eight time better than humans. They have been clocked at speeds of 242 miles per hour while diving for prey, making them the fastest recorded animal ever. Though they are just medium size predators, they are the consummate hunters of the avian world—able to spot, chase and kill prey quietly and efficiently. Falcons are alert, imaginative, and spontaneous, always acquiring new skills. They are wild at heart, very proud, and very courageous.
