falcon is any one of 37 species of raptor in the genus Falco, widely distributed on all continents of the world except Antarctica.
Adult falcons have thin tapered wings, which enable them to fly at high speed and to change direction rapidly. Fledgling falcons, in their first year of flying, have longer flight feathers, which makes their configuration more like that of a general-purpose bird such as a broadwing. This makes it easier to fly while learning the exceptional skills required to be effective hunters as adults.
The falcons are the largest genus in the Falconinae subfamily of Falconidae, which itself also includes another subfamily comprising caracaras and a few other species. All these birds kill with their beaks, utilizing a "tooth" on the side of their beak — unlike the hawks, eagles and other birds of prey in Accipitridae, which use their feet.
Peregrine falcons have been recorded diving at speeds of 200 miles per hour (320 km/h), making them the fastest-moving creatures on Earth.[1] Other falcons include the gyrfalcon, lanner falcon, and the merlin. Some small falcons with long narrow wings are called hobbies, and some which hover while hunting are called kestrels.
As is the case with many birds of prey, falcons have exceptional powers of vision; the visual acuity of one species has been measured at 2.6 times that of a normal human.[2]

I was waiting for some pictures to develop and this little guy was so intent in playing hockey in the aisles. It was pretty darn cute!!! I asked his mother if I could take his picture and she agreed. I then asked if his Dad by chance played hockey. She said " yes, he is the head coach in town.'' I think Dad is a influnce here.

It has not taken long time for the Washington Redskins to learn some important things during the 2017 training camp. The Burgundy and Gold can still count on fielding one of the most electrifying passing games in the NFL, despite losing Pierre Garcon and DeSean Jackson to free agency.
Jackson and Garcon won't be missed too much if newcomer Terrelle Pryor Sr. carries his jaw-dropping form at camp into the regular season. Pryor has wowed fans in Richmond with one highlight-reel grab after another, showcasing the blend of size and speed sure to put pressure on defenses this season.
For all his progress, Pryor's quick first impression isn't the only positive news from the Redskins' camp. New arrivals have been showing flashes of talent on defense, with top draft pick Jonathan Allen and free-agent signing Zach Brown starting to turn heads.
With so many new faces at key positions on both sides of the ball, it will be important for the Redskins incumbents to maintain their levels and provide the right platform for success.
Fortunately, one of the Redskins' most consistent performers, left tackle Trent Williams, is showing no signs of deteriorating. The perennial Pro Bowler is preparing for his eighth season in the big league and looks as good as ever based on his work at camp.
The Redskins need to rely on Williams' continued excellence. After all, he is still the foundation of the offensive line, despite the unit's rapid steps forward under coach Bill Callahan the last two seasons.
Williams, Washington's first-round draft choice in 2010, is no longer the lone standout along the front line. Right tackle Morgan Moses and guard Brandon Scherff have ensured Williams has the support he needs.
The Redskins can surely count on having a better defensive line in 2017 after stockpiling talent up front this offseason. At least things should work out once Washington's coaches decide who exactly will play along the three-man front.
Flexibility is what every defense wants, but sometimes it's as simple as putting your players in their best positions to succeed. If Allen is most effective as a four or five-technique working over the left tackle, it's precisely where the coaches should put him.

Wildland Firefighters on Rappel capable crews, come from all over the nation each spring to train at the National Helicopter Rappel Program’s Rappel Academy at Salmon AirBase, in Salmon, Idaho.
Wildland fire aircraft play a critical role in supporting firefighters on wildland fires. Helicopters also deliver aerial crews called Heli-Rappellers to wildland fires. These are specially trained firefighters that rappel from helicopters in order to effectively and quickly respond to fires in remote terrain.
Heli-Rappellers may land near a wildfire but if there is no landing zone close by they can utilize their skills to rappel from the hoovering helicopter. Once on the ground, crews build firelines using hand tools, chainsaws, and other firefighting tools. Forest Service photo by Charity Parks.
The Virginia Beach Fire Department’s HAZMAT team is frequently called upon to respond to the release or discovery of a foreign substance or gas leak that represents a potential hazard to the public or other first responders. Unfortunately, in today’s world an accidental or malicious release of a hazardous material is a growing threat. The VBFD has one the most skilled and best equipped HAZMAT Teams in Virginia but recognizes the need to constantly increase their capabilities.
The HAZMAT Team has been conducting training to prepare their fellow firefighters to deal with a variety of HAZMAT scenarios. In effect, VBFD is creating a force-multiplier that enables those outside the HAZMAT Team to gain a level of expertise and efficiency that would allow a firefighter to deal safely with a HAZMAT situation until members of the HAZMAT Team arrive.
The exercise consisted of three different scenarios involving everything from a leaking chemical tanker to the discovery of a suspicious white powder.
