A Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) on a perch at the San Jacinto Wildlife Area in Riverside County in southern California. Numbers of this nearly world-wide breeder fell precipitously in the 1960s from thinning of its eggshells from widespread usage of the insecticide DDT.  Since the banning of that substance, this falcon has made a remarkable recovery and is now fairly common in some areas and has been removed from its endangered status. It is renowned for its aerial abilities as it preys mainly on flying birds.  It has been measured in a dive at over 240 mph, making it the fastest of all birds.
Falco biarmicus or borni falcon, barni or lanario is a species of falconiform bird in the Falconidae family.

Steppe eagles arrive at their summer breeding grounds around April, at the start of spring. Large nests, up to a metre wide, are constructed from twigs and lined with various materials, such as old rags and camel dung. While the nests are usually placed on the ground in a position allowing a good view of the surroundings, as a result of habitat alteration and persecution, nests are increasingly being found in trees, bushes and on artificial structures. The female lays a clutch of between one and three eggs which are incubated for 45 days, with the chicks being brooded for a further 55 to 65 days before fledging. The steppe eagle is remarkably long lived, reaching up to 41 years in captivity.
The Steppe Eagle (Aquila nipalensis) commands the open skies with its majestic wingspan and formidable presence. Found across the expansive Eurasian steppes, from Eastern Europe to Mongolia and beyond, this bird of prey is a symbol of power and grace in the avian world.\n\nStanding tall with a wingspan that can reach up to 7 feet (over 2 meters), the Steppe Eagle is renowned for its striking appearance and keen hunting prowess. Its plumage varies from dark brown to chestnut, complemented by a distinctive pale patch on the back of its head and neck. Adults display a striking contrast between their dark body and the lighter underparts, enhancing their regal demeanor.\n\nSteppe Eagles are highly adaptable hunters, preying on a diverse range of animals including small mammals, birds, and reptiles. Their keen eyesight allows them to spot potential prey from great distances, making them efficient hunters across their vast territories.\n\nDuring the breeding season, Steppe Eagles engage in elaborate courtship displays characterized by aerial acrobatics and vocalizations. They build large nests in tall trees or cliffs, where females typically lay one to three eggs. Both parents share the responsibility of incubating the eggs and caring for the chicks, fostering strong family bonds.
