Tracking and Position |
Search for peregrine falcons.
- What is the longest daily flight by a peregrine falcon
that any biologist has listed?
- Peregrine falcons dive at very high speed to catch prey
— such as pigeons or ducks — in midair. In a full
dive they may be the fastest moving living things. Find the
maximum diving speed of these birds.
Project
Track 'em, Canadian Peregrine Foundation, tracks juvenile peregrine
falcons.
Peregrine
Falcon Information Centre, McGill Univeristy, Quebec, has a lot
of information on the behaviour of these birds.
Peregraine
Falcons, Environment Canada, presents a good overview on this
bird.
Peregrine
Falcons — Fastest Birds in the Air, About.com Network, is
a small, but informative site. |
