| The Peregrine Falcon is one of the world's fastest birds, capable of achieving speeds of nearly 180 miles per hour when pursuing other birds as prey. These falcons can be seen anytime of year on Plymouth Beach, but are most common during the fall and spring migrations when they hunt coastal areas for ducks and large shorebirds. Once nearly driven to extinction by pesticide poisoning, Peregrine Falcons are slowly recovering throughout North America. |
