Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus)

The Peregrine Falcon is the fastest of all birds. It catches and eats prey like mice and rats, but its diet will also extend into small harmless birds, like Quails and Sparrows. This fearsome bird of prey is visible throughout most of the Northern skies, and has quite an appetite to match.
