Fastest-flying Bird in the World
Lower Klamath Refuge is a 46,900 acre Refuge that is a varied mix of shallow freshwater marshes, open water, grassy uplands, and croplands that are intensively managed to provide feeding, resting, nesting, and brood rearing habitat for waterfowl, birds of prey and other wild birds and critters. While visiting the Refuge we spotted this beautiful Peregrine Falcon raptor, or bird of prey. They have a hooked beak and strong talons. They are commonly referred to as the Duck Hawk. Peregrine falcons are the fastest-flying birds in the world – they are able to dive at 200 miles per hour.
