Are peregrine falcon dives called stooping?

When peregrine falcons are flying high and spot prey below and prepare to go after it, they angle downward. They at least slightly fold in their wings and can dive up to 200 mph. Once they are close enough to the prey, another flying bird, they reach out their talons and grab it. Once they have it in their talons they swoop up. That is how Peregrine Falcons stoop.
