BEAUTIFL!! I think Peregrines are one of the most beautiful, and spectacular birds of prey in the world!! I was canoeing on the Green River in Canyonlands N.P. years ago when one of them came dropping down at a couple hundred miles per hour into the canyon and hit a flying Swallow so hard it sounded like a .22 caliber gunshot. Instantly dead and tenderized at the same time! He came around and picked him up out of the river and flew back up, out of the canyon, screaming all the way! It was incredible!!

Thank you Chief.
I think they are Beautiful, and love their large bright eyes.
I've seen videos of them catching prey on the fly, very impressive

I got to see this beautiful Peregrine Falcon yesterday. Poor thing had a collision with a truck when it was young, and almost died.
the University Raptor Center worked with him, and saved his life, but he lost his right wing.
I love his bright eyes.

Hope you enjoy seeing this.
