I'd like to know the context of fast. Wingbeat, maybe? Level flight, maybe?

I'd find it difficult to believe that a Rufous hummer could be faster than a Peregrine in a stoop.

FAYI (fer all y'all's info) speed is not mentioned AT ALL on the Rufous' Wiki page. If it were faster than a Peregrine, I figure it would be shouting that fact all over the page.
