Barbary Falcon (Falco peregrinus pelegrinoides)

Inhabits locally northern Africa from Morocco and Mauritania, east across Algeria, Tunisia, and southern Niger to northern Kenya, Sudan, Egypt, Near East, Iraq, western Iran, northern Somalia, and Arabia. Found in semi-desert, desert, dry steppe, and rocky regions.
A small falcon approximately has the size of a large pigeon. Adult's back and wings are a pale bluish grey. The chest and under parts are a pale rufous color with slight barring. The crown is mixed with rusty red and the nape is bright rufous chestnut.
The Barbary falcon is a desert-adapted falcon. They nest on cliffs in barren country, favoring semi-desert areas with rocky hills, desert foothills, and barren mountain slopes up to 2500 m (8200 ft.).
