The Prairie Falcon preys on birds and small mammals in the open, dry country of western
North America. Flying low it watches for smaller birds that flush out of the grass or bushes.
It relies on its ability to accelerate quickly into a high speed pursuit to over take its quarry.
It has amazing agility and it twists and turns untill its prey is out maneuvered.
The Blue Jay is known for its loud harsh cry. However, It also has a soft melody and it mimics the songs and
cries of many other birds. This inteligent creature has also been known to use the cry of a hawk to scare
the competition away from a food source.
