COVID-19 and Difficult Times
We understand that times are hard right now, and a lot of people have nothing to give. However, if you do have the resources, please donate to our cause.

Peregrine Falcons, by Wes Laraway
The Peregrine is a very common medium sized falcon that is found worldwide on every continent except for Antarctica. [...] Peregrine Falcons have been prized by falconers for over 3,000 years, and Peregrine Falcons also get the honor of being the "fastest animal on earth." Normal flying speed is between 25 to 35 MPH but they have been clocked doing over 220 MPH when they go into a fast dive (or stoop) while hunting.
