Falco Peregrinus – the wandering falcon.
In my humble opinion, the Peregrine Kestrel is a true cosmopolitan bird. At home on a high cliff overlooking the sea, the Peregrine can be quick to trade in its country estate for life in the big city atop a skyscraper.
She is a passionate hunter, willing to stand toe-to-toe…or perhaps claw-to-claw against the American Bald Eagle for its quarry.
Even in the hands of a novice, she can be docile and quite sweet unlike other hunting birds.
Ah….but to see her strike! She will circle her target high above in the clouds until the moment comes….and then she folds her wings and drops out of the sky……
A true companion and partner for any would-be hunter in the woods!
