They are the fastest of all the world's predatory birds and I believe they have been clocked at over 300 kph (200 mph) on big power dives. Because of their speed they actually hunt and catch other birds in the air, a pretty unusual if not unique hunting strategy.

They are very successful, found on all continents except Antarctica. They are also exceedingly beautiful birds. When coming out of a dive, they are subjected to 136g.
