We have Peregrine falcons all over here. They are awesome to watch and sometimes you see them pluck a bird out of the sky.
I believe they are the fastest animal on earth.
Bald eagle is still my favorite bird of prey though. What a crazy mating ritual!
I love dogs.Birds poop on people.
Dogs though
Are just bad ass.
Yes the falcons are powerful and really not that big, about the size of a crow.I saw a falcon in my back yard just shredding a juvenile woodpecker. I accidentally startled it and it flew to a tree to finish the meal. I was amazed it could fly with such a big bird.
I put out 3 hummingbird feeders in my yard. We get tons of Broad Tails and the males brawl.
We get also get Calliope and Rufus.
I'll stand out on the porch grilling/ or chilling wearing a purple or red shirt and the hummingbirds will get inches from my face.
I love hummingbirds so much. They live life 100 times faster than we do.
This spring, I met a fella while doing disaster cleanup with my bobcat, and he had a cage in his truck. I asked about it, and he was more than happy to show me what he had. A falcon, he had a falcon. He had the glove, it had that stupid little hat(blind). It is trained to grab rodents from his pasture, which scare his expensive Arabian show horses. He let it loose, and it came back with a ground squirrel. Crazy shit. That's my bird story.I saw a falcon in my back yard just shredding a juvenile woodpecker.

Humming birds are bad ass.Yes the falcons are powerful and really not that big, about the size of a crow.
I absolutely love hummingbirds too man. The feeders work well to attract them. They'll chase each other off of them zipping by your head!
It's awesome when they get close to you like that just hovering, so agile. Some of the maneuvers they make are mind blowing.
