I'm a bird of prey creme de la creme. On air, I'm like a heat-seeking missile, a kamikaze airplane swooping down on prey with lethal precision. My large eyes, as sharp as an Eagle's. Tell the Eagle I said so! I can also spot and zero-in on a prey from thousands of feet high! I'm a solitary speed demon of a bird. Don't even think Cheetah; I'm so fast that cat moves like a tortoise to me. Land or air, I am indeed the fastest animal on the face of the planet. Pardon my vaingloriousness! Did I mention I'm a cannibal, too? Yes, I feed on other birds. I'm often called the "duck hawk" because...well, I enjoy duck meat! I sexually mature at the age of three. I typically breed from March to May. I don't build my own nests, I simply use existing vegetation to lay my eggs. There's incredible power in my sturdy wings An indefatigable traveler, I get around the world, spotted in every continent! I'll repeat, in case you've already forgotten... I'm the fastest living thing alive. Tell the Cheetah I said so! COMPLETELY YOUR CHOICE(17) any theme any form contest (Winner: 1st Place) Sponsored by Brian Strand Date written: 09/27/2020
