We have Peregrine falcons all over here. They are awesome to watch and sometimes you see them pluck a bird out of the sky.
I believe they are the fastest animal on earth.
Bald eagle is still my favorite bird of prey though. What a crazy mating ritual! :hump:

I saw a falcon in my back yard just shredding a juvenile woodpecker. I accidentally startled it and it flew to a tree to finish the meal. I was amazed it could fly with such a big bird.

I put out 3 hummingbird feeders in my yard. We get tons of Broad Tails and the males brawl.
We get also get Calliope and Rufus.

I'll stand out on the porch grilling/ or chilling wearing a purple or red shirt and the hummingbirds will get inches from my face.

I love hummingbirds so much. They live life 100 times faster than we do.

Yes the falcons are powerful and really not that big, about the size of a crow.
I absolutely love hummingbirds too man. The feeders work well to attract them. They'll chase each other off of them zipping by your head!
It's awesome when they get close to you like that just hovering, so agile. Some of the maneuvers they make are mind blowing.

This spring, I met a fella while doing disaster cleanup with my bobcat, and he had a cage in his truck. I asked about it, and he was more than happy to show me what he had. A falcon, he had a falcon. He had the glove, it had that stupid little hat(blind). It is trained to grab rodents from his pasture, which scare his expensive Arabian show horses. He let it loose, and it came back with a ground squirrel. Crazy shit. That's my bird story.

Humming birds are bad ass.

They stab each other over a female. With their beaks.

Their tongue is amazing too. It is a tube that splits open and wraps around the water and then closes and back in the mouth it goes.

Birds poop on people.
Dogs though. ......View attachment 3516593
Are just bad ass.
So do dogs if you don't train them. My Cockatoo is trained, he walks back to his cage to use the facilities and unlike my dog he can tell me directly when he thinks I'm full of shit, which he often does.

Although my dog is pretty good too
