Falcons

From "The Guinness World Records" (of June 2011)

The fastest dive that has been recorded was during one series of German experiments, when a peregrine falcon reached a velocity of 270 km/h (168 mph) at a 30° angle of stoop, rising to a maximum of 350 km/h (217 mph) at an angle of 45°.

Unofficially they have been recorded at significantly higher speeds.

The smallest falcon in the world is the Philippine Falconet (Microhierax erythrogenys) The North American Kestrel (Falco sparverius) is the second smallest falcon.

no stupid of course not. it is so small. it just beats its wings very fast

Peregrines may live to be 12 to 15 years old. However, the mortality rate for young falcons is about 60%. This means that approximately 6 out of every 10 falcons hatched will die in its first year of life.

I think it's a flock.

If a hawk can pick off a young fox, it will take it. But an adult fox is too large for the hawk to tackle.

No, bullets are fired at an amazingly high speed. It can be difficult for even high speed 1200 FPS (frames per second) camera to catch a glipse of a bullet leaving a barrel of a weapon. Bullets cannot be seen by the eye either.

Peregrine falcons, even at top speed, can still be seen by the human eye and would appear to be moving in slow motion on a 1200 FPS high speed camera. They are extremely fast, but no animal is as fast as a bullet.

Falcons are strong, fast fliers. They can fly up behind their prey and grab it in mid-flight. They can also fly above other birds, dive down and strike the other bird with its foot. The falcon can then retrieve the dead or stunned bird in the air.

Neither, actually. Peregrine Falcons are birds that inhabit various types of open country (like fields or deserts or tundra), although occasionally a pair will nest on a window ledge or cornice of a tall building.

They usually fly up at a very high distance directly above their prey, then fold their wings and drop at astonishing speed. They then strike the prey animal with its claws and, or beak. The high impact, causes the animal's spine/neck to snap, and sometimes kills it instantly.

of course they lay eggs, they lay 2-3 but the first little eagle that hatches kicks off the other one or two eggs

its wingspan is 3.3 to 3.6 ft (1 to 1.1 m)

On a radar gun at Lake Mattamuskeet, North Carolina, a male peregrine in pursuit of ducks was clocked four times at speeds between 84 and 87 mph. In a dive, they can hit 200 mph.

The national animal of Greece is the giraffe.

They eat smaller birds for energy...

It has a dark head with a wide dark mustache mark, white throat, blue-gray back and pale breast cross-barred with dark brown. Young birds have darker, brownish plumage. Their breast is marked with vertical brown streaking.

Peregrine falcons mate for life. One pair will tend a nest together and hatch many babies (or eyas) over the years. For each of these little ones, the parents will mate and the mother will lay an egg. After a time it will hatch and the eyaswill see the world for the first time.

Peregrine falcon eggs typically measure about 4.0 to 5.0 centimeters (1.6 to 2.0 inches) in length and 3.0 to 4.0 centimeters (1.2 to 1.6 inches) in width. They usually weigh between 28 to 40 grams. The eggs are usually smooth and glossy, with a pale color that can range from white to light buff, often with reddish-brown speckles.

Ospreys are not endangered. They are not even considered threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN), the agency that determines conservation status. They place ospreys in the category "Least Concern".

The Black Falcon can be found in woodlands and grasslands in Australia.

The adaptions of a Gyrfalcon are the parts of it's body that help it survive threw hunting of fleeing. Such as it's wings that make it nearly imposable to be catch be ground, or slow predators.
