The Prairie Falcon
is smaller more slender, and more maneuverable in
flight than the Peregrine Falcon, but less adapt as
a hunter, specializing on prey usually caught near
the ground. Stanford Note: One
does not expect to see the Prairie Falcon on
campus. So rare is its presence, that sightings
(date, place, time, activity) are especially
welcome.
