Hawks generally have broad wings. Open-range hawks (particularly of the genus Buteo, AKA Buzzard Hawks) have long broad wings and are known for their typical gliding flight pattern.
Forest hawks (like those of the genus Accipiter) have shorter wings and proportionally longer tails than open-range hawks. This configuration allows faster turning and more maneuverability. Forest hawks are generally don't soar.
Falcons have long narrow wings are are built more for speed than soaring. The Peregrine Falcon, Falco peregrinus, is the fastest bird on record, reaching speeds of 200 mph in a stoop (a kind of speed dive).
 This species stub needs improving.
