PEREGRINE FALCONS are about the size and weight of a crow - females are larger and more powerful than males.
Adults have slate dark blue-gray wings and backs barred
with black, pale undersides, white faces with a black stripe on each cheek, and large, dark eyes.
Their wings are long and pointed - Peregrines look, in a nutshell, fast.
PEREGRINE FALCONS have been called nature's finest flying machine.
They are nature's fastest fliers: Peregrines have been clocked diving, or stooping, at speeds of up to 220 miles per hour! Peregrine falcons feed primarily on birds they take in the air: their prey includes ducks, pheasants, and pigeons.
Some of the power plants that RRP works with have seen
the resident pigeon population disappear after Peregrines began nesting on site.
