Peregrine Falcon

Hi guys, Sorry I have not post for a long time, I kinda forget. Well anyways today I am gonna post about the peregrine falcon, the fastest bird in the world. And here it's :

   The peregrine falcon or you could just called it peregrine was one called the duck hawk in North America is a widespread bird of prey from the family falconidae. And here is his appearence: Large crow-sized falcon with a blue-gray back, barred white underparts, black head and a moustache. As is typical of bird-eating raptors, peregrine falcons are sexually dimorphic which means that the females are bigger than males. Peregrine are renowned for its speed, reaching over 322 km/h which is about 200 mph during its style hunting which is the hunting stoop in which peregrine dive down in very high speed making it the fastest member of the animal kingdom. According to a National Geographic program, the highest measured speed of a Peregrine Falcon is 242 mph about 389 km/h.
 Peregrine falcon's breeding range includes land region from the arctic tundra to the tropics. It can be found nearly everywhere on Earth, except extreme polar regions, very high mountains and most tropical rainforest; the only major ice free land mass from which it is entirely absent is New Zealand. This makes it the world's most widespread raptor and one of the widely found bird species. Both the English and scientific names of this species mean "wandering falcon", referring to the migratory habits of many northern population.
 While its diet consists almost exclusively of medium-sized bird, the peregrine will occasionally hunt small mammals, small reptile or even insects. Reaching sexual maturity at one year, it mates for life and nests in a scrape, normally on cliff edges or, in recent times, on tall human made structures. The Peregrine Falcon became an endangered species in many areas because of pesticides especially DDT. Since the ban on DDT from the early 1970's, populations have recovered, supported by large-scale protection of nesting places and releases to the wild.
