Peregrine falcon
This image shows how the feathers overlap each other. What peregrines can do aerodynamically (is that a word?) is nothing short of amazing. They can cup their wings for braking, flex and turn them at impossible angles for turning, and pull them in tight like a bullet for 200 mph stoops. Background is the ocean.
