Another beautiful raptor is the Prairie Falcon.
Like the Peregrine Falcon the Prairie Falcon was also decimated by pesticides during the mid 1900's. Unlike the faster Peregrine Falcon, the Prairie Falcon pursues smaller prey by flying close to the ground. It likes small birds and mammals. It's habitat preference is plains and flat scrub desert.
