Yes they are. It always takes my breath away when I see them flying by. Their wing span is 4 plus feet wide. They spend a lot of time on the ground though, unlike other falcons or birds, and they build their nest out of sticks. Fire ants often eat their babies so their successful reproduction rate is low. I think I read that they are on the US Endangered species list and are protected birds. ~J
