Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 No, it is not coincidence. The peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) is the fastest bird in the world, and not only that, it is also the fastest animal of all. Its daily flight is around 100 km/h, but when it comes to hunting it is capable of diving at more than 300 km/h. Its entire anatomy is perfectly adapted for the extreme speeds it can achieve. For this reason, it is not new that part of its aerodynamics has been adopted in the aerospace sector. 50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 It is truly Epic to see a Peregrine come "down" from altitude and nail a Pigeon. Explosion of Pigeon "feathers" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 They used to be all over the place around here, but the influx of immigrants of all breeds and descriptions, and the construction going on in all places has made them scarcer. Fun to watch but tough to photograph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
