Falcon Attacks a Much Larger Pelican in a Series of Spectacular Photos
Peregrine falcons typically nest on cliffs, with nesting initiated in February and by June or July their offspring are fledged.

The name “peregrine” means wanderer which the bird owes to having one of the longest migrations of any North American bird. The falcons will nest in Alaska and northern Canada and winter in South America, migrating as much as 15,500 miles (25,000 kilometers) in a year.
