When I first looked at this picture., I thought movie poster! The merciless predator speeding towards it's cute., hapless and helpless victim. All looks lost! Or is it? Makes you want to go see the movie?! I love the image because it tells a story all in a single moment. The peregrine Falcon is the the fastest bird on the planet. (it is possible for a peregrine in ideal conditions to reach speeds of up to 200 mph (321kph) in a dive., yes read that again!) Its streamlined body, powerful muscles and swept-back wing shape are perfect for fast flight., so your looking at a phenomena., and a movie poster!
