It promptly mounts to a height of perhaps half a mile, and "waits on" in circling flight above its owner until prey is flushed, whereupon the falcon dives to the attack in its incredibly swift stoop. It is not unusual for a peregrine 2,000 feet in the sky to get down and kill its quarry pigeon before the prey has traveled 100 yards. A breath-taking sight...
