Halcón peregrino

Photo © Vladimir Kharuk — CC BY 4.0 — Source: iNaturalist photo #143426685El halcón peregrino (Falco peregrinus) es una especie de ave falconiforme de la familia Falconidae de distribución cosmopolita. Es un halcón grande, del tamaño de un cuervo, con la espalda de color gris azulado y la parte inferior blanquecina con manchas oscuras; la cabeza es negra y cuenta con una amplia y característica bigotera también de color negro. Normalmente no vuela a velocidades superiores a los 100 km/h, pero en picado o cuando caza y efectúa un ataque en picado puede alcanzar más de 380 km/h, por lo que es el animal más rápido del mundo.
Como en otras aves de presa, la hembra es de mucho mayor tamaño que el macho. Diversas autoridades reconocen diecisiete o diecinueve subespecies, que varían de aspecto y hábitat; hay desacuerdo sobre si el halcón tagarote (Falco pelegrinoides) es una subespecie o una especie distinta.
La distribución geográfica de sus áreas de cría abarca desde la tundra ártica hasta el sur de América. Se le puede encontrar casi en todas partes de la Tierra, excepto en regiones polares extremas, montañas muy elevadas y selvas tropicales; la única área terrestre extensa sin hielo en la cual está completamente ausente es Nueva Zelanda, lo que la convierte en el ave de presa más extendida del mundo. Tanto el nombre científico como el nombre en español de esta especie significan «halcón viajero», a causa de los hábitos migratorios de muchas poblaciones del norte.
