Peregrine Falcons are part of a family known as the birds of prey. It is the fastest bird in the world, reaching speeds of 200 miles per hour in their dives. Sadly the population of the Peregrine Falcons have dwindled. In Massachusetts, there were only 14 pairs of these Falcons in 2007. In this article, you will read about this birds endangerment and its recovery.
This is a shame that such an amazing creature is endangered. It must be a key species considering that It "is one of the most Widely distributed birds In the world, Inhabiting every continent Except Antarctica."
