About the Peregrine FalconFull Range Map & Species Guide →

Crow-sized, with a blue-grey back, barred white underparts and a black head with a dark moustache, this is the classic fast falcon. It lives on almost every continent, using cliffs and tall buildings, and it takes birds in flight with a high-speed dive. Scan cliff ledges, city towers and the skies above shorelines for pigeons and shorebirds in a hurried flight.
