While looking for the name of the African Goshawk I'd seen a few days ago, I came across this statement By a Gordon Ellmers at
the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.

The Peregrine Falcon is famous for being the fastest bird in the world (although it isn't because the Rufous Hummingbird is actually faster, but less impressive). When in pursuit of prey, it can reach speeds of over 200 mph!

But I can find nothing on the Tennessee site, or any other site, to back that up, and I think it's a bullshit claim by Ellmers Fudd.
