falcons
Speedy diving predators
Falcons are birds of prey known for their speed, hooked beaks, and tapered wings.
They hunt by diving at tremendous velocity to strike prey in flight.
Falconry is the ancient practice of training falcons to hunt.
The word extends to sports teams and military equipment: the Atlanta Falcons, the F-16 Fighting Falcon.
