A falcon( or ) is a species of raptor in the genus Falco. The word comes
from their Latin name falco, related to Latin falx ("sickle") because of
the shape of these birds' wings.
Overview Adult falcons have thin tapered wings, which enable them to fly
at high speed and to change direction rapidly. Fledgling falcons, in their
first year of flying, have longer flight feathers which makes their
configuration more like that of a general-purpose bird such as a broadwing.
This is to make it easier for them to fly while learning the exceptional
skills required to be effective hunters in their adult configuration. A
falcon's wings are shaped like a scythe. Although common misconceptions of
the difference of a scythe and sickle are the cause of the misconception of
the shape of the falcons wings.
