On a serious note....I just saw one of those birds similar to that(Perigren Falcon?) on the way back frm lunch here at the base. There are a good number of these birds I have noticed from Ohio southward. Am I correct on the species?
I think they use them to control the pidgeon population?
Yep, I've got a resident one on my property and every so often he raids my bird feeder. I've watched him slam another bird at about 80mph. Nothing but one big blast of feathers. They also nest them in the buildings here in downtown DC to eat pigeons. Awsome little birds.
They sure have an eye like a Hawk for sure! I see them alot on top of poles or dead treetops(I think to see prey better) looking for road kill I think. Neat Bird...I am a huge fan of the American Eagle...tatoo's to prove it
