Fun Facts for Kids

• As part of their adaptation to hotter and lower humidity desert climates, the eggs of the Prairie falcon are less porous and retain water better than those of their Peregrine falcon cousins; under these conditions this leads to a higher hatching rate.
• Prairie falcons have the claw on their hind toe, called hallux, which is particularly effective and deadly in raking the prey. During their striking methods of hunting, Prairie falcons have been known to be so forceful they can literally separate the head from the body of the prey.
• When the Prairie falcon locates needed prey, it is relentless in its pursuit. Its cruising speed is estimated at 72 km/h (45 mph) and it accelerates in the chase.
• Prairie falcons nest on overhanging cliffs that can be up to 500 feet (152 meters) high.

Prairie falcons are carnivores that eat mostly small mammals (especially in summer) and small to medium-sized birds. Common mammalian prey includes squirrels, ground squirrels, prairie dogs, chipmunks, gophers, and rabbits of various species. Reptiles are also sometimes taken. Bird prey commonly includes sparrows, starlings, grackles, doves, quail, meadow larks, pigeons, coots, teal, and mallards.
