Did you know that falcons have a 'choanal slit' -it is located in the roof of it's mouth and it connects to the bird's sinuses (source: the ModernApprentice.com <http://www.themodernapprentice.com/gen_biology.htm> -a falcony not a wizard site). So I got a photo that shows this structure inside the beak of the Prairie Falcon I photographed this week. Yup, I didn't know what that slit in the roof of it's mouth was so had to research it. Now I have posted that photo, and another close-up that shows nicely the yellow eye ring found on adult Prairie Falcons, onto my Birds and Nature blog <http://birdsandnature.blogspot.com/> for those into this rarely seen detail.
