Yea, they have a cruising speed of 45 mph, and accelerate during the chase :) pretty darn fast, though not as fast as a Peregrine
Young prairie falcons, known as eyases, are fed a diet consisting of small mammals such as mice, voles, and rabbits. As they grow, their diet may include larger prey such as songbirds and insects. Parent falcons will hunt and bring back food to the nest to feed their young.
Prairie falcons are found in western North America, including regions such as the western United States, parts of Canada, and northern Mexico. They typically inhabit open areas like grasslands, deserts, and cliffs where they can find suitable nesting sites and prey.

Falcons fly at fast speeds, because their body is streamlined which lets them cut through the air easily.

Probably because of how fast they are. I don't know much of Prairie Dogs, but I know they are extremely fast.
Mammalian predators that try to capture prairie dogs include American badgers, black-footed ferrets, bobcats, coyotes, gray foxes, long-tailed weasels, and red foxes. Avian predators that try to capture prairie dogs include Cooper's hawks, ferruginous hawks, golden eagles, northern goshawks, peregrine falcons, prairie falcons, and red-tailed hawks

They are both fast and dangerous
very fast
Falcons are much faster than hummingbirds, they seem really fast because of their small size.
