You can also find these embedded in our blog, and I'm sure your visitors would find them of great interest, too. Feel free to embed one of them in your site.

I think this is one element of the "blog" format that can draw in readers - EOL is not just imitating the objectivity of an encyclopedia, but is also created by a bunch of enthusiasts. I think this is a strength and could be featured more - especially in attracting younger readers and schools. I like the enthusiasm of this entry!

Although peregrines are great representatives of "fast animals" I would argue that there are some other (better) candidates for the title. Free fall will allow most animals to reach a considerable speed ;) Needle-tailed swift (Hirundapus caudacutus) or red-breated merganser (Mergus serrator) are other species that may well deserve the title (when talking about birds that, by their "own" power, reaches high flight speeds; level-flight). I would like to add a swedish peregrine-webcam to the list. These birds reside in Helsingborg, by the swedish SW coast. You will find them on: http://www.kof.nu/english/ewebcam.html Nice post!
