AGF, In regards to Thomas Alerstam, he studies bird migration,migration being the movement of a human, bird or other animal species from one location to the next. You provide that as your evidence? A person who studies the movement from locations, nothing to do with the speed of which a falcon fly. You are as yet to provide any evidence which proves that the bird can not reach that speeds while we provide you with several.

This has just surpassed "Seinfeld Comedy Trailer" in my favourite Youtube video of all time. Just phenomenal. Thank You NatGeo for being so awesome.
