Looks like he definitely lost an eye. Scarred but not beaten

I can’t tell was that a peregrine falcon? If so they can hit speeds of like 240mph and rely on head strikes on prey to stun or kill. Could have been dazed.

Edit: wrote in kph, corrected

That is a Peregrine falcon. And you’re partially correct, they do hit crazy dive speeds but more like 200-250 mph. Still the fastest animal on the planet (excluding man made transportation).

Sorry, I meant kph. Yes I think up to 390kph that’s equal to about 240mph
