Wetlands, flooded rice paddies, rivers, and marshes. Nests on tall trees, utility poles, and artificial platforms.
Peregrine Falcon
Diverse habitats from tundra to tropics, typically near cliffs or tall structures. Increasingly found in cities nesting on skyscrapers and bridges.

A harsh, wailing 'kak-kak-kak-kak' repeated rapidly in defense of the nest. Alarm call is a long screaming 'raaak'. Mostly silent away from breeding sites.

Breeds in the Russian Far East and northeastern China. Winters in southeastern China, Japan, and Korea.

About These Birds
Oriental Stork
The oriental stork is one of the most endangered stork species, with fewer than 3,000 individuals remaining in the wild. It was once widespread across East Asia but declined dramatically due to wetland drainage and pesticide use. Reintroduction programs in Japan and Korea have achieved notable success.
Peregrine Falcon
매는 세계에서 가장 빠른 동물로, 먹이를 향해 급강하할 때 시속 320km 이상의 속도를 낼 수 있습니다. 남극 대륙을 제외한 전 세계에 분포하며 도시 고층 건물에서도 번식합니다. DDT 사용으로 20세기 중반 크게 줄었다가 현재 회복되었습니다.
