Introduction The peregrine falcon is the fastest animal in the world. It can attain speeds above 180 miles per hour as it dives toward its prey. Being a member of the genus Falco, the peregrine falcon exhibits many of the generic characteristics of falcons. It has long slender wings, a short tail, curved beak and sharp talons. Peregrine falcons are found perched high in trees and cliff sides in open areas like grasslands, tundra and meadows. More

The Peregrine Falcon became an endangered species in many areas due to the use of pesticides, especially DDT.

A: Peregrine falcons banded in North America typically receive 2 leg bands-one on each leg. The first band is a U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) band which contains a number unique to that individual falcon (similar to a Social Security number). The numbers are small and hard to read unless you have the bird in hand. The color of this band can help identify the geographic region where the bird was banded. For example, USFWS bands used on Ohio falcons are purple. More

Endangered Peregrine Falcons Nesting in Buffalo, New York - The Peregrine Falcon, fastest bird in the sky, came dangerously close to extinction in New York state many years ago. Despite being the fastest animal on the planet, their speed did not allow them to escape the dangers of one of mankind's devious creations. Their numbers were decimated due to pesticides ingested while eating, thereby causing their egg shells to become weak and overly fragile. More

The peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) has long captured our imagination as a hunter of the skies, stooping on its avian prey at speeds of up to 200 mph. Peregrines are widely recognized and appreciated thanks to media coverage of nesting pairs in some of North America's major metropolitan centers, including Richmond. The introduction of peregrines into cities is part of a strategy to recover the species, following precipitous declines of its populations in the middle of the 20th century. More

That's where the family story gets a little complicated - at least one, possibly two, of the hatched eggs were laid by Tasha2, the female peregrine falcon that had been nesting at the Gulf Tower since 1998 before she was driven off in March by the newcomer Dori.
