Date : 12/21/2006 Time : 3:48:57 AM Falcons are any of about 60 species of birds of prey that constitute the family Falconidae in the order Falconiformes, which also includes eagles, hawks, kites, and vultures.
The true falcons are typified by a bullet-shaped body; commonly long, pointed wings; a medium to long tail; long toes with sharp, hooked claws; a short neck; and a short, hooked, usually notched bill.
The earliest fossil record of the falcon family is from the Miocene Epoch of Argentina, about 15 million years ago.

 Falcon family
Given this dramatic history -- an escape from extinction that passed through a genetic bottleneck when numbers were so low -- I still consider the Mauritius Kestrel of the "best birds in the world," even though today's birder need only visit Mauritius briefly to see one.
Among the falcons, some 13 species are called "kestrels" but all of these are still retained in the genus Falco that includes all the large hunting falcons; together the genus Falco comprises 38 species, or 60% of the Falconidae.
The other species within the Falconidae are scattered among the caracaras -- long-legged neotropical birds, some of which include carrion in their diet, the unique Laughing Falcon Herpetotheres cachinnans and the forest-falcons of the Neotropics (many of them secretive), and the pygmy-falcons and falconets of the Old World tropics.
