I filmed this female Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) that I discovered feeding on a pigeon on this telephone pole on a barrier beach in Stratford, Connecticut on January 3, 2009. She was one of two nestlings banded from a nest in downtown Providence, Rhode Island on May 8, 2006. The video is extremely graphic and shows her devouring her meal while being battered by powerful and icy northwest winds, ripping apart the pigeon and cleaning up afterwards, working over her talons and stretching out her legs and wings. See (non-graphic) photos of this individual, including her bands, and learn more about the fastest animal on Earth here: rtpi.org/banded-peregrine-falcon-devouring-pigeon/ Scott Kruitbosch Conservation & Outreach Coordinator
