Observation details
Watching this falcon chase a Brown-throated Parakeet back and forth across the sky at speeds I could not fathom was one of the highlights in 20 years of birding. I did not see a kill, but I have no idea how the parakeet avoided the inevitable. Landing in a tree at those speeds did not seem like an option and that falcon was following every dip and turn.
