BJ's Birding Lessons - Part 13 - Three Falcons and a Kite

This will be the first installment of raptors, I plan to have two more. Two of the birds here are very common around Perth, the other two are not as abundant, but still quite visible if you know where they are. Being raptors they require large territories to hunt so you usually won't see more than one or two birds at a time. The falcons are identified by their sleek shape, speedy flight and, if you can get close enough to see it, a notch on the beak called the "tomial tooth".

( Among them the fastest animal in the world. )

For those that are wondering, the bird in my icon is a White-bellied Sea-eagle, which won't be featured in this series as it isn't very common around Perth.
