If you’re a football fan, you may have heard of the Atlanta Falcons. It’s a professional football team named for a powerful bird of prey found on every continent except Antarctica. The falcon.
Most birds eat seeds, fruits, nectar, or even insects and worms. Not falcons. These birds are meat-eaters. The 35 different kinds of falcons live in deserts, grasslands, forests, mountains, and wetlands. They live in the arctic north. And among city skyscrapers. They may nest in the hole of a tree trunk. On the edge of a cliff. Or in a human-made tower.
