>>>What is the normal distance in the range of a peregrine?

That would be hard to answer. That research lab in Dubai has been mix breeding the falcons and hawks. Falcons, NORMALLY, are long winged. This is for speed. But hawks are normally broad winged. This makes them soarers which is complimentary for distance.

A peregrine is a pure breed. Pure breeds are looked down upon in M.E. Falconery.

What do you mean? An African or European peregrine?


Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I think the peregrine can get close to 200 miles an hour when it dives down to grab prey. If they are planning what I think they are it will not matter about the breed of raptor as it is only a vector shedding the avian flu to the wildlife and us.

On a different note and FWIW... in the homelandsecurityus.net site there is some mention of a field commander in the land of the tributaries waiting for some tape or message...I think of Minnesota because of the Mississippi head waters there abouts and then more recently on that site there is a dialogue in which the yellow circle faces are used at the end and one part references somebody stuck in Iowa with a frowning face. This might be the reason for the new directive.
