  1. "Falcons are the easiest group of raptors to distinguish in the air. They have long pointed wings and narrow tails, which enable some birds to reach diving speeds of up to 300 km per hour (190 mph). Falcons have a tooth-like projection behind the hook portion of the beak, lacking in other raptors. The peregrine falcon, prairie falcon, gyrfalcon, merlin (pigeon hawk), and American kestrel (sparrow hawk) are the falcons found in Alberta."

  2. red-tailed hawk is the fastest and strongest bird of all time, much faster and stronger than both these falcons, much faster and stronger than the merlin and the kestrel, even stronger than the bald eagle and the california condor
