Falco peregrinus
Identification suggestions (from the community or from AI) and the information here may be wrong; this app never confirms that anything is safe to eat. Do not consume wild plants, mushrooms or seafood without expert confirmation. Nothing here is medical advice.
Never handle an injured bird bare-handed; the talons inflict deep puncture wounds. May dive at people approaching a cliff-ledge nest in the breeding season.
