peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), sometimes referred to simply as the peregrine, is a bird of prey (raptor) in the family Falconidae known for its speed. A large, crow-sized falcon, it has a blue-grey back, barred white underparts and a black head. As is typical for bird-eating (avivore) raptors, peregrine falcons are sexually dimorphic, with females being considerably larger than males. Historically, the bird has also been known as the \"black-cheeked falcon\" in Australia and the \"duck hawk\" in North America.\nThe breeding range includes land regions from the Arctic tundra to the tropics. It can be found nearly everywhere on Earth, except extreme polar regions, very high mountains, and most tropical rainforests. The only major ice-free landmasses from which it is entirely absent are the islands of New Zealand, making it the world's most widespread raptor and one of the most widely found wild bird species. In fact, the only land-based bird species found over a larger geographic area, domestic and feral pigeons, owe their success to human-led introduction. Both are domesticated forms of the rock dove, and are a major prey species for peregrine populations. Due to their greater abundance in cities than most other birds, feral pigeons support many peregrine populations as a staple food source, especially in urban settings.\nThe peregrine is a highly successful example of urban wildlife in much of its range, taking advantage of tall buildings as nest sites, and an abundance of prey such as pigeons and ducks. Both the English and scientific names of the species mean \"wandering falcon\", referring to the migratory habits of many northern populations. A total of 18 or 19 regional subspecies are accepted, which vary in appearance. Disagreement existed in the past over whether the distinctive Barbary falcon was represented by two subspecies of Falco peregrinus or was a separate species, F. pelegrinoides, and several of the other subspecies were originally described as species. However, the difference in their appearance is very small, as is their genetic difference, being only about 0.6–0.8% genetically differentiated. That indicates the divergence is relatively recent, occurring during the Last Ice Age, and all major ornithological authorities now treat the Barbary falcon as a subspecies.\nAlthough its diet consists almost exclusively of medium-sized birds, the peregrine will sometimes hunt small mammals, small reptiles, or even insects. Reaching sexual maturity at one year, it mates for life and nests in a scrape, normally on cliff edges or, in recent times, on tall human-made structures. The peregrine falcon became an endangered species in many areas because of the widespread use of various pesticides, especially DDT. Since the ban on DDT from the early 1970s, populations have recovered, supported by large-scale protection of nesting places and releases to the wild.\nThe peregrine falcon is a well-respected falconry bird due to its strong hunting ability, high trainability, versatility, and availability via captive breeding. It is effective on most game bird species, from small to large. It has also been used as a religious, royal, or national symbol across many eras and civilizations.","source_id":"enwiki","source_url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peregrine_falcon","revision":1381692625,"licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","licence_tier":"amber","share_alike":true,"display_ok":true,"attribution":"Wikipedia contributors, “Peregrine falcon”","retrieved_at":"2026-11-11"}],"external_ids":[{"source":"gbif","label":"GBIF","external_id":"2481047","url":"https://www.gbif.org/species/2481047","match_type":"exact_accepted","confidence":1},{"source":"wikidata","label":"Wikidata","external_id":"Q30535","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q30535","match_type":"exact_accepted","confidence":1},{"source":"enwiki","label":"Wikipedia","external_id":"Peregrine falcon","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peregrine_falcon","match_type":"external_id","confidence":1},{"source":"ncbi","label":"NCBI Taxonomy","external_id":"8954","url":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?id=8954","match_type":"external_id","confidence":1},{"source":"itis","label":"ITIS","external_id":"175604","url":"https://www.itis.gov/servlet/SingleRpt/SingleRpt?search_topic=TSN&search_value=175604","match_type":"external_id","confidence":1},{"source":"eol","label":"Encyclopedia of Life","external_id":"45510796","url":"https://eol.org/pages/45510796","match_type":"external_id","confidence":1},{"source":"inaturalist","label":"iNaturalist","external_id":"4647","url":"https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/4647","match_type":"external_id","confidence":1},{"source":"worms","label":"WoRMS","external_id":"159153","url":"https://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=159153","match_type":"external_id","confidence":1}],"sources":[{"source_id":"gbif","name":"GBIF Backbone Taxonomy","url":"https://www.gbif.org/dataset/d7dddbf4-2cf0-4f39-9b2a-bb099caae36c","licence":"CC BY 4.0","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","citation":"GBIF Secretariat.
