Wild Birds of Prey - Falcons

Hardcover (Blackbirch Press Jan. 12, 2000) , 1 edition
In spring and summer, there are falcons in most regions of North America, including metropolitan areas. If you live in New York or Chicago, you may have had the thrill of watching a peregrine falcon chase down a flying pigeon. It takes off from a tall building or bridge in a breathtaking dive, swooping down on the startled pigeon and grabbing it in midair with its sharp talons. It's easy to miss this performance on a crowded and noisy city street--unless you happen to be standing under the shower of pigeon feathers that ends the chase!

Falcons are slender, long-winged birds of prey. These birds are some of the best hunters in the avian (bird) world, and falcons are among the most exciting to watch.
