Falcon
Falcons commonly nest in holes in trees or on natural ledges on
cliffs. The eggs are usually four or five in number and buffy white in
colour, speckled and blotched with reddish brown. The incubation period
is about 28 or 35 days, and the young are cared for in the nest for as
long as 35 days.
The
flight of falcons is fast and direct with the wings rapidly digging
through the air. Some falcons habitually hover while scanning the ground
for prey. Some species capture birds of their own size or smaller in
midair. Others live mainly on hares, mice, lizards, and insects.
