(Falco peregrinus), also known as the Peregrine, and historically as
the Duck Hawk in North America, is a widespread bird of prey in the
family Falconidae. A large, crow-sized falcon, it has a blue-grey back,
barred white underparts, and a black head and "moustache". As is typical
of bird-eating raptors, Peregrine Falcons are sexually dimorphic,
females being considerably larger than males.
