船靠近中島 只見島上空無鳥跡
隨即出現驚人的游隼 在空中盤旋
北鳥阮錦松理事長表示
六月十五日在中島出現大量燕鷗棄巢的情況 已排除人為干擾
又根據台大研究團隊撿獲鳳頭燕鷗遺骸研判 是猛禽所為
馬祖鳥會今日隨船調查 拍下游隼相片
將驗證兩組人馬的判斷無誤
馬祖燕鷗保護區 除了大陸漁船的人為干擾
猛禽的干擾 也是一個很讓人頭痛的難題
因為猛禽的干擾
將今年的燕鷗季 往後延了兩個星期
預計今年的賞鷗行程 最佳賞鳥期會落在八月中旬到八月下旬
請大家把握最後兩個星期 欣賞神話之鳥-黑嘴端鳳頭燕鷗喔!

地表上飛行速度最快的鳥類 - 遊隼。
加速到時速160公里只要1秒鐘。由影片記錄來看，遊隼最快速度可到時速380公里以上。若以自由落體 1g 的加速度，遊隼可以達到 6g 的重力加速度。
特性：被稱為地球上飛行速度最快的鳥類，游隼屬於「空對空」捕食的猛禽，平日在空中盤旋，若發現一兩公里之內的其他飛鳥，就飛到獵物上方，在高空中縮起雙翼，猶如一顆子彈般俯衝而下，撞擊野鳥，令其昏迷、摔落後再捕食，還會將其帶至固定的岩石上拔毛。
分布：在地球北端繁殖，亞洲、美洲、歐洲等地都有其蹤跡，棲息在靠近水邊的岩石高山上，並在懸崖峭壁上築巢。
外型：大約有三十三公分到五十公分，背部呈藍灰色，腹部是白色或黃色，上面有黑色的條紋。
每年八月到十月由中國東北、日本、韓國等地飛到台灣度冬並產卵繁殖，第二年三到四月再飛回北方。

遊隼極速 - 387 公里/小時 (242哩/小時)，影片中拍攝記錄約為 293 公里/小時(本影片最清楚的影音在下方的相關連結：國家地理頻道。)：

Peregrine Falcon Profile
These falcons are formidable hunters that prey on other birds (and bats) in mid-flight. Peregrines hunt from above and, after sighting their prey, drop into a steep, swift dive that can top 200 miles an hour (320 kilometers an hour).
Peregrine falcons are among the world's most common birds of prey and live on all continents except Antarctica. They prefer wide-open spaces, and thrive near coasts where shorebirds are common, but they can be found everywhere from tundra to deserts. Peregrines are even known to live on bridges and skyscrapers in major cities.
These birds may travel widely outside the nesting season—their name means "wanderer." Though some individuals are permanent residents, many migrate. Those that nest on Arctic tundra and winter in South America fly as many as 15,500 miles (25,000 kilometers) in a year. Yet they have an incredible homing instinct that leads them back to favored aeries. Some nesting sites have been in continuous use for hundreds of years, occupied by successive generations of falcons.
Peregrine populations were in steep decline during the mid-20th century, and in the United States these beautiful falcons became an endangered species. The birds have rebounded strongly since the use of DDT and other chemical pesticides was curtailed. Captive breeding programs have also helped to boost the bird's numbers in the U.S. and Canada. Now populations are strong in those nations, and in some parts of the globe, there actually may be more peregrines than existed before the 20th-century decline.
Peregrines are favored by falconers, and have been used in that sport for many centuries.
