This Falcon is known to be one of the fastest members of the animal kingdom reaching over 389 km/h (242 mph)! I caught these shots while out doing beach survey's with my husband up in Humboldt County California.

Peregrine's are one of the largest falcons on the continent and are known for feeding on medium sized birds by catching them in midair. Their chases this way will give you a show of fantastic aerial mastery as they swoop and dive with ease.

This bird's barred wings as they stretched before flight were amazing and his talons nothing to be messed with. Peregrine's are one of my favorites, just beautiful raptors!
