Falconiformes

Information about the Prairie Falcon:

The Prairie Falcon is a medium to smaller sized bird of prey native to the western parts of  North America. They inhabit a variety of environments, including of course prairie an open grasslands, high deserts and mountainous tundra in the summer. They feed mostly on small mammals and birds, which are usually caught while in flight. They tend to hunt fairly close to the ground, with an estimated speed of up to 45 MPH. Like Peregrines, they will attack birds in flight, knocking into them and then grasping them in their talons. They are occasionally used in falconry.
