Falco peregrinus

Peregrine Falcon

Wanderfalke

The Peregrine Falcon is considered the fastest diving bird in the world. The powerful, streamlined bird is capable of soaring to heights of 600m. It stays above its prey and then dives, killing the prey with a direct blow of the closed fist. Yaquina Head, Newport, Westcoast, Oregon, USA
