What do you call a falcon born in the 1980s and mid-1990s? A Millennial Falcon, of course. A bad joke that was. We can hear the groans from every quadrant. This peregrine falcon is not impressed. It also thinks it could make the Kessel Run in less than 14 parsecs. Impressive. That’s like 3 light-years give or take. (We don’t know, it’s out of our wheelhouse. If there are any Star Trek or LOTR followers that want to chime in, go for it.) Now that we’ve offended everyone (going solo), for those still reading, falcons are fast. They are expert hunters, and their dive speeds can reach over 200 miles per hour. They frequently perch on the rays of the Statue of Liberty's crown, which provide an excellent starting point for dives.
