The Peregrine Falcon might appear to be a fairly new addition to the urban landscape, but its relationship with humanity dates back centuries. As an exceptional hunter, its ability to seize small birds in midair or knock larger birds right out of the sky has made it a prized bird for falconers even prior to the Middle Ages. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarco Polo gave the world one of its first glimpses of this magnificent feathered resident of Canada when he wrote that the Artic Ocean contained 'Écertain island in which are produced numbers of gyrfalcon and Peregrine Falcons which are carried in many directions'. The Peregrine Falcon is one of the most spectacular birds of prey one can ever hope to observe. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes two $2 stamps (one mint condition and one cancelled) \u003cbr\u003eIncludes a serialized booklet that is full of fascinating images and facts about the Peregrine Falcon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2006 Canadian $5 Peregrine Falcon \u0026amp; Nestlings Fine Silver Coin \u0026amp; Stamp Set (Limited Edition) comes encapsulated and presented in a wooden case.
