Falcon

I caught a brief glimpse of this guy while fighting for my life against a horde of mosquitoes. Eesh. The things I do to have fun...



I'm not sure what species this is, anyone out there that can give me a hand with i.d. that would be great!

Peregrine Falcon

Say hello to the world's fastest creature. These little guys can reach speeds upwards of 300 km/h. They need to move that fast because they eat other birds, amoung other things. This Winnipeg sighting was exciting for me because the Peregrine Falcon has been endangered, and is fairly rare. They were affected by the use of pesticides, such as DDT. Quite a nice sight to see. If I'm lucky I might get some better photos as time goes on.

-Edit

I am no longer certain that this is a peregrine falcon.

If anyone can help with a positive I.D. that would be great.
