Falcon Saker basic information

Saker Falcons are about 18 inches in length, and are brownish in color. They have two dark brown stripes running down either side of their beaks, which are known as moustachial stripes! Generally, Saker Falcons have pale heads. Their light colored crowns have black and rufous edged feathers, and the rest of the body is covered in darker shades of browns, buffs, and tans. On their undersides, the colors are lighter browns, tans, and whites. Saker Falcons are commonly confused with some other falcons, such as the Peregrine. The Saker is larger than the Peregrine and is also larger than the Lanner.
