*** About Falcons: Falcons are celebrated for their speed and hunting acumen. Commonly referred to as raptors, these birds possess a sharp, hooked beak and strong, clawed talons, which they use proficiently when catching prey. Peregrine falcons, recognized as the fastest animals on the planet, can reach speeds of up to 240 mph during a stoop (high-speed dive), used primarily for hunting. Habitually nesting in high, precipitous cliff edges, some urban-adapted falcons have made tall buildings their preferred nesting spots, merging old instincts with new environments.
